II. FEATURES Smart Series II. FEATURES • Auto Fan Off: The system fans will power off automatically even in sleep mode. This function reduces both energy consumption and system noise, and is an important feature in implementing silent PC systems. • Dual Function Power Button (requires ATX power supply): Pushing the power button for less than 4 seconds when the system is in the working state places the system into one of two states: sleep mode or soft-off mode, depending on the BIOS setting (see Power Management Setup under BIOS SETUP). When the power button is pressed for more than 4 seconds, the system enters the soft-off mode regardless of the BIOS setting. • Keyboard Power Up: Keyboard Power Up can be enabled or disabled to allow the computer to be powered on by pressing the keyboard's spacebar. • Voltage Monitoring and Alert: System voltage levels are monitored to ensure stable current to critical motherboard components. Voltage specifications are more critical for future processors, so monitoring is necessary to ensure proper system configuration and management. • System Resources Alert: Today's operating systems, such as Windows 95/98/ NT and OS/2, require much more memory and hard drive space to present enormous user interfaces and run large applications. The system resource monitor will warn the user before the system resources are used up to prevent possible application crashes. Suggestions on managing the user's limited resources more efficiently are provided. • CPU Slow Down: When CPU fans or system fans malfunction, the system will deactivate the CPU Clock line to decrease CPU utilization to the speed upon detection of system overheat. This will prevent CPU damage from system overheat. The CPU utilization will restore normal operations when temperature falls below a safe level. • Remote Ring On (requires external modem): This feature allows a computer to be turned on remotely through an external modem. With this benefit on hand, any user can access vital information from their computer from anywhere in the world! • Message LED (requires ACPI-supported OS): Turbo LEDs now act as information providers. Through the way a particular LED illuminates, the user can determine the stage the computer is in. A simple glimpse provides useful information to the user. 10 ASUS P5S-B User's Manual

Auto Fan Off:
The system fans will power off automatically
even in sleep mode
.
This function reduces both energy consumption
and
system noise
, and is an im-
portant feature in implementing silent PC systems.
•
Dual Function Power Button (requires ATX power supply):
Pushing the power
button for less than 4 seconds when the system is in the working state places the
system into one of two states: sleep mode or soft-off mode, depending on the
BIOS setting (see
Power Management Setup
under

•
Voltage Monitoring and Alert:
System voltage levels are monitored to ensure
stable current to critical motherboard components. Voltage specifications are more
critical for future processors, so monitoring is necessary to ensure proper system
configuration and management.

efficiently are provided.
•
CPU Slow Down:
When CPU fans or system fans malfunction, the system will
deactivate the CPU Clock line to decrease CPU utilization to the speed upon
detection of system overheat. This will prevent CPU damage from system over-
heat. The CPU utilization will restore normal operations when temperature falls
below a safe level.

This feature allows a computer to
be turned on remotely through an external modem. With this benefit on hand, any
user can access vital information from their computer from anywhere in the world!

Turbo LEDs now act as infor-
mation providers. Through the way a particular LED illuminates, the user can
determine the stage the computer is in. A simple glimpse provides useful infor-
mation to the user.
