FEA TURES
Specifications
Wake-On-Ring Connector:
Supports Wake-On-Ring activity through a PCI
modem card that supports a WOR connector.
USB:
Supports up to 4 USB ports, two on the back panel and two midboard, for
more peripheral connectivity options.
PC Health Monitoring:
Provides an easy way to examine and manage system
status information, such as CPU and systerm voltages, temperatures, and fan
status through the onboard hardware monitoring and the bundled ASUS PC Probe.
SMBus:
Features the System Management Bus interface, which is used to physi-
cally transport commands and information between SMBus devices.
PCI Expansion Slots:
Provides six 32-bit PCI
(Rev. 2.2) expansion slots, which
can support Bus Master PCI cards, such as SCSI or LAN cards (PCI supports up
to 133MB/s maximum throughput).
Super Multi-I/O:
Provides two high-speed UART compatible serial ports and
one parallel port with EPP and ECP capabilities.
Enhanced ACPI & Anti-Boot Virus Protection:
Programmable BIOS (Flash
EEPROM), offering enhanced ACPI for Windows 98 compatibility, built-in firm-
ware-based virus protection, and autodetection of most devices for virtually au-
tomatic setup.
Concurrent PCI:
Concurrent PCI allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI mas-
ter busses to the memory and processor.
Smart BIOS:
2Mb firmware provides Vcore and CPU/SDRAM frequency ad-
justments, boot block write protection, and HD/SCSI/MO/ZIP/CD/Floppy boot
selection.
Integrated Infrared (IrDA) Support:
Integrated IR supports an optional re-
mote control package for wireless interfacing with external peripherals, per-
sonal gadgets, or an optional remote controller.
Desktop Management Interface (DMI):
Supports DMI through BIOS, which
allows hardware to communicate within a standard protocol creating a higher
level of compatibility. (Requires DMI-enabled components.)
Color-coded Connectors:
To enhance user accessibility to system components and
to meet PC 99 compliancy, major connectors in this motherboard are color-coded.
