The ECS RC415T-AM is a Micro ATX motherboard primarily found in OEM systems like the Acer Power F6 and Acer Aspire T671
. Based on the ATi RC410 chipset, it is designed for Intel Socket 775 processors and features integrated Radeon Xpress graphics. Core Specifications Form Factor Micro ATX ( Socket Type LGA 775 (Socket T) Chipset ATi RC410 (Radeon Xpress 200/1100) + ULi M1573 Memory 2x DDR2 slots, max 2GB–4GB capacity Expansion 1x PCIe x16, 1x PCIe x1, 2x PCI (32-bit) Storage 4x SATA I (1.5 Gb/s), 2x IDE interfaces, 1x Floppy Audio Realtek ALC888 (7.1+2 channel HD Audio) Network Marvell 88E8056 Gigabit Ethernet CPU Support List
The motherboard supports a variety of early-to-mid 2000s Intel processors with Front Side Bus (FSB) speeds of 533MHz, 800MHz, and 1066MHz: Intel Core 2 Duo (Conroe/Allendale) Intel Pentium D (Presler/Smithfield) Intel Pentium 4 (Prescott/Cedar Mill) Intel Celeron D (Cedar Mill-512/Prescott-256) Intel Pentium Dual-Core (e.g., E2200 2.2GHz) Rear I/O Ports
The board includes a standard array of legacy and utility ports: 8x USB 2.0 (total) 1x VGA (integrated graphics) 1x RJ-45 LAN port 1x Serial port and 1x Parallel port 2x FireWire 400 (VIA VT6307 controller) 1x S/PDIF and standard PS/2 Keyboard/Mouse ports Internal Headers & Jumpers
Front Panel (PANEL1): Pin 1-3 (HDD LED), Pin 2-4 (Power LED), Pin 5-7 (Reset Switch), Pin 6-8 (Power Switch).
CMOS Clear: Use the CLR_CMOS jumper. Move the cap from pins 1-2 to 2-3 for 5–10 seconds while the system is off to reset BIOS settings.
Power: Requires a standard 24-pin ATX power connector and a 4-pin ATX 12V P4 connector. Manual & Drivers
While a single consolidated "RC415T-AM" manual is rare outside of original Acer system documentation, you can use the ECS Download Center for general drivers. Detailed chip datasheets for the ALC888 audio and Intel processors are often preserved on The Retro Web. ECS RC415T-AM - The Retro Web

Since it was built for specific computer brands, a standalone retail manual is rare, but the technical specifications and layout remain consistent across models. 🛠️ Key Technical Specifications LGA 775 (Supports Intel Pentium 4, Celeron D, Pentium D). ATI Radeon Xpress 200 (RC410/RC415).
2x DDR2 DIMM slots (Supports up to 2GB or 4GB depending on BIOS). Integrated ATI Radeon X300-based graphics. Expansion: 1x PCIe x16, 1x PCIe x1, 2x PCI slots. 4x SATA ports, 1x IDE connector. 🔌 Front Panel Header Layout

, drivers are usually hosted by the PC manufacturer rather than ECS: Acer Users: Search the Acer Support Site for "Aspire T660" or "E380." Gateway Users: Look for "Gateway DX420" or "GT5408" support pages. General Drivers:
Standard ATI/AMD chipset drivers for the Xpress 200 series often work for video and Northbridge functions. ⚠️ Common Limitations CPU Support: This board typically does
Problem B: "Front panel audio doesn't work."
- The manual reveals: The front audio header (F_AUDIO) is AC’97 only, not HD Audio. You need to change your case’s cable to AC’97 mode or manually remap the pins.
RC415T-AM Motherboard Manual — Comprehensive Guide
3.1. Jumper Settings (The "CLR_CMOS" is vital)
The manual clearly marks a 3-pin jumper block. On the RC415T-AM, this is usually located near the bottom edge, close to the SATA ports.
- Clear CMOS (Reset BIOS):
- Normal operation: Pins 1-2 closed (default).
- Clear settings: Move jumper to pins 2-3 for 10 seconds. Then move it back.
- Password Clear (PSWD): A separate 2-pin jumper. Shorting this while booting bypasses the BIOS password.
