Round Cable Optional, CPU Thermal Protection

Page 16 highlights

Getting Started Round Cable (Optional) Round cable is an enhanced cable for PCI IDE and Ultra DMA controller. It has the following benefits: h Data transfer rate started by 133MB/s h Backward compatibility (ATA33/66/100/133) h Higher performance than traditional Flat cable (data rate) h Improved data robustness h Better airflow due to thinner ATA/133 cable Connect to the system connectors on the mainboard. Connect to the master drive. Connect one end to the floopy disk drive connector (FDD1) and the other end to the standard flooy disk. Connect to the slave drive. CPU Thermal Protection Aimed to prevent the CPU from overheating, MSI has developed a CPU Thermal Protection mechanism for Intel® CPU platform. This CPU Thermal Protection mechanism works on a thermal signal sensor. If the mechanism senses an abnormal temperature rise, it will automatically shut down the system and the CPU temperature will then drop down and resume normal. With this unique feature, users can better protect their CPU. Please note that this feature is for Intel® Pentium CPU only. 1-9

Backward compatibility (ATA33/66/100/133)
Higher performance than traditional Flat cable (data rate)
Improved data robustness
Better airflow due to thinner ATA/133 cable
CPU Thermal Protection
Aimed to prevent the CPU from overheating, MSI has developed a CPU Thermal
Protection mechanism for Intel
®
CPU platform. This CPU Thermal Protection
mechanism
works on a thermal signal sensor. If
the mechanism senses an abnormal temperature
rise, it will automatically shut down the system and the CPU temperature will then
drop down and resume normal. With this unique feature, users can better protect
their CPU. Please note that this feature is for Intel
®
Pentium CPU only.
Connect one end to the
floopy disk drive
connector (FDD1) and
the other end to the
standard flooy disk.
Connect to the system
connectors on the mainboard.
Connect to the slave drive.
Connect to the master drive.
