Introduction
Thank you for choosing the RC410-M2 motherboard. This motherboard is a high perfor-
mance, enhanced function motherboard that supports LGA775 Pentium 4 CPUs for high-
end business or personal desktop markets.
The motherboard incorporates the RC410 Northbridge (NB) and M1573 Southbridge (SB)
chipsets. The RC410 is a sixth generation Intergrated Graphics Processor (IGP) that inte-
grates 2D/3D graphics and a system controller in a single chip. The momory controller
supports DDR2 SDRAM interface of DDR2 667/533/400MHz, with up to maximum memory
size of 2GB. Besides one PCI Express x1 slot, one PCI Express x16 slot, intended for
Graphics Interface, is fully compliant to the PCI Express Base Specification revision 1.0a.
The M1573 Southbridge supports two PCI slots which are PCI 2.3 compliant. The M1573
supports an EHCI compliant interface that provides 480Mb/s bandwidth for eight USB 2.0
ports (rear panel x 4, header x 4). Two onboard IDE connectors supports 4 IDE devices in
UDMA 133/100/66 modes. The Southbridge integrates a Serial ATA host controller that is
SATA v1.0 compliant, supporting four SATA ports with maximum transfer rate up to 150
MB/s each.
The RC410-M2 motherboard is equipped with advanced full set of I/O ports in the rear
panel, including PS/2 mouse and keyboard connectors, COM1, LPT, VGA, four USB ports,
one optional LAN port, one optional 1394a port (another 1394a header onboard), and
