2. FEATURES Intelligence 2. FEATURES • Enhanced ACPI & Anti-Boot Virus Protection: Programmable BIOS (Flash EEPROM), offering enhanced ACPI for Windows 982000/Millenium compatibility, built-in firmware-based virus protection, and autodetection of most devices for virtually automatic setup. • Concurrent PCI: Concurrent PCI allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI master busses to the memory and processor. • SMBus: The System Management Bus interface conveys commands and information between SMBus devices. • Dual Function Power Button: 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 or OS setting (see PWR Button < 4 Secs in 4.5 Power Menu). When the power button is pressed for more than 4 seconds, the system enters the soft-off mode regardless of the BIOS setting. • Message LED (requires ACPI OS support): Turbo LEDs now act as information providers. Through the way a particular LED illuminates, the user can determine if there are messages waiting in the mailbox. A simple glimpse provides useful information to the user. • System Resources Alert: Today's operating systems such as Windows 98/ Millenium and Windows NT/2000, require much more memory and hard drive space to accomodate 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 will give the user information on managing their limited resources more efficiently. • Chassis Intrusion Detection: Supports chassis-intrusion monitoring through the ASUS ASIC. A chassis intrusion event is kept in memory on battery power for more protection. 2.1.5 Optional Components • Onboard Audio: C-Media Audio Chip CMI8738 supporting the latest PCI 6 channel and HRTF 3D Audio sound circuitry. • Microphone jack: Pink jack connects a microphone. In 6-channel mode, the function of this jack becomes Bass/Center. • Line In jack: Light blue jack connects a tape player or other audio sources. • Line Out jack: Lime jack connects a headphone or a speaker. • Game/MIDI connector. This connector supports a joystick or a game pad for playing games, and MIDI devices for playing or editing audio files. ASUS A7A133 User's Manual 11
