INTRODUCTION
The ATX AL9 mainboard is a high-performance personal computer
mainboard.
This mainboard supports Intel

processor/Pentium
®
processor with MMX
TM
technology, Cyrix
®
6x86/6x86L/6x86MX, and AMD
®
K5/K6 processors.
The mainboard also supports four 32-bit PCI (Peripheral
Component Interconnect) Local Bus standard slots.
The mainboard uses the highly integrated Aladdin
®
5 chipset to support the
PCI/ISA and Green standards, and to provide the Host/AGP bridge.
The
Aladdin
®
5 chipset integrates all system control functions such as ACPI
(Advanced Configuration and Power Interface).
The ACPI provides more
Energy Saving Features for the OSPM(OS Direct Power Management)
function. The Aladdin
®
5 chipset also improves the IDE transfer rate by
supporting Ultra DMA/33 IDE that transfer data at the rate of 33MB/s.
The mainboard also supports the Hardware Monitor Controller as an
optional function.
This function includes: CPU/chassis/power fan control,
CPU temperature detect and protect, system voltage detect.
