2. FEA TURES Specifications 2. FEATURES • 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 ASUS ASIC and the bundled ASUS PC Probe or Intel LDCM software. • CNR Support: A Communication and Networking Riser (CNR) slot provides an interface to support very affordable multichannel audio, V.90 analog modem, Home PNA, 10/100 Ethernet networking, and USB hub. • PCI Expansion Slots: Provides six 32-bit PCI (PCI 2.2 compliant) expansion slots. All PCI slots can support Bus Master PCI cards, such as SCSI or LAN cards. (PCI supports up to 133MB/s maximum throughput.) • Low Pin Count (LPC) Multi-I/O: Provides two high-speed UART compatible serial ports and one parallel port with EPP and ECP capabilities. UART2 can also be directed from COM2 to the Infrared Module for wireless connections. • Enhanced ACPI & Anti-Boot Virus Protection: Programmable BIOS (Flash EEPROM), offering enhanced ACPI for Windows 98/2000/Millenium compatibility, built-in firmware-based virus protection, and autodetection of most devices for virtually automatic setup. • Smart BIOS: The firmware hub gives a new easy-to-use interface which provides more control and protection over the motherboard. Provides Vcore and CPU/ SDRAM frequency adjustments, boot block write protection, and HD/SCSI/MO/ ZIP/CD/Floppy boot selection. Hardware random number generator supports new security software for data protection and secured Internet transactions. • Concurrent PCI: Concurrent PCI allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI master busses to the memory and processor. • Onboard LED: The onboard LED will light up when there is standby power to the motherboard. This acts as a reminder to the user to turn OFF the power before plugging and unplugging devices so as not to damage the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components. • One Touch Management: Supports an optional ASUS iPanel, an easy to access box with system information LED display, front I/O ports, and space reserved for a hard disk drive. With an ASUS iPanel, you can monitor your computer system's vital components. • SMBus: Features the System Management Bus interface, which is used to physically transport commands and information between SMBus devices. • Personalized Boot Logo: Create unique boot up screens with this easy-to-use DOS utility. • SmartCard Reader: Onboard header connects directly to a SmartCard reader for security and SmartCard memory chip editing.
