Chapter 1
Introducing the Motherboard
Introduction
Thank you for choosing the A75F-M motherboard. This motherboard is a high
performance, enhanced function motherboard that supports socket FM1 for AMD
Llano processors for high-end business or personal desktop markets.
There is an advanced full set of I/O ports in the rear panel, including one PS/2 mouse
and keyboard combo connector, one HDMI port, one DVI port, one D-sub(VGA)
port, four USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.0 ports, one Giga LAN port, one optical
SPDIFO port and audio jacks for microphone, line-in and 8-ch line-out.
The motherboard is based on AMD A75 (Hudson D3) express chipset for best desk-
top platform. A75 is a single-chip, highly integrated, high performance Hyper-
Transport peripheral controller, unmatched by any other single chip-device control-
ler. The memory controller supports DDR3 memory DIMM frequencies of 1866/
1600/1333*. It supports four DDR3 slots with maximum memory size of 64 GB.
One PCI Express x16 slot, intended for Graphics Interface, is fully compliant to the
PCI Express Gen2 (version 2.0). In addition, one PCI Express x1 slot and two PCI
slots are supported.
It integrates USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 interface, supporting up to ten USB 2.0 ports(four
USB 2.0 ports and three USB 2.0 headers support additional six USB 2.0 ports) and
four USB 3.0 ports (two USB 3.0 ports at rear panel and one USB 3.0 header supports
additional two USB 3.0 ports). The gray USB 2.0 header provides EZ charger tech-
nology, please refer to chapter 2 parts of Front Panel USB 2.0 headers to check the
detail information. This motherboard integrates a Serial ATA host controller, sup-
porting six SATA ports with maximum transfer rate up to 6Gb/s each.
*Due to the limitation of AMD CPU spec, please refer to Memory QVL for
more information.
If you want to use the different display output (HDMI, DVI, VGA) at the
same time, you can only choose HDMI+VGA or DVI+VGA.

- Sata1 6 serial ata connectors 21
- Spdifo spdif out header 21
- These connectors are used to support the new serial ataiii devices for the highest data transfer rates 6 gb s simpler disk drive cabling and easier pc assembly it doubles the transfer rate of current sata 3 gb s interface 21
- This is an optional header that provides an s pdif sony philips digital interface output to digital multimedia device through optical fiber or coaxial connector 21
- Case chassis intrusion detect header 22
- F_audio front panel audio header 22
- F_usb1 3 front panel usb 2 headers 22
- Installing the motherboard 22
- Please make sure that the usb cable has the same pin assignment as indicated above a different pin assignment may cause damage or system hang up 22
- The motherboard has six usb 2 ports installed on the rear edge i o port array additionally some computer cases have usb 2 ports at the front of the case if you have this kind of case use auxiliary usb 2 connector to connect the front mounted ports to the motherboard 22
- This detects if the chassis cover has been removed this function needs a chassis equipped with instrusion detection switch and needs to be enabled in bios 22
- This header allows the user to install auxiliary front oriented microphone and line out ports for easier access 22
- Unlike f_usb2 3 in this mainboard f_usb1 supports ez charger technology provides 3 times current than general usb port in off mode for usb devices it is useful and excellent especially for the iphone ipad and ipod touch devices that need a large amount of current for faster recharging within less time 22
- Com onboard serial port header 23
- Connect a serial port extension bracket to this header to add a serial port to your system 23
- Installing the motherboard 23
- Please make sure that the usb cable has the same pin assignment as indicated above a different pin assignment may cause damage or system hang up 23

- Supporting the power on off function requires connecting pins 6 and 8 to a momen tary contact switch that is normally open the switch should maintain contact for at least 50 ms to signal the power supply to switch on or off the time requirement is due to internal de bounce circuitry after receiving a power on off signal at least two seconds elapses before the power supply recognizes another on off signal 30
- Supporting the reset function requires connecting pin 5 and 7 to a momentary contact switch that is normally open when the switch is closed the board resets and runs post 30
- The front panel header f_panel provides a standard set of switch and led headers commonly found on atx or micro atx cases refer to the table below for informa tion 30
