FEATURES • Wake-On-Ring: Supports Wake-On-Ring activity through a PCI modem card that supports a WOR connector. • PC Health Monitoring: Provides an easy way to examine and manage system status information, such as CPU and system voltages, temperatures, and fan status through the onboard hardware ASUS ASIC and the bundled ASUS PC Probe. • SMBus: Features the System Management Bus interface used to physically transport commands and information between SMBus devices. • PCI/AMR Expansion Slots: Includes six 32-bit PCI (Rev. 2.2) expansion slots that support Bus Master PCI cards, such as SCSI or LAN cards, with 133MB/s maximum throughput. The motherboard also includes one Audio Modem Riser (AMR) slot that supports an audio or modem card. • Super 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. • Smart BIOS: 2Mb firmware provides Vcore and CPU/SDRAM frequency adjustments, boot block write protection, and HD/SCSI/MO/ZIP/CD/Floppy boot selection. • Enhanced ACPI and Anti-Boot Virus Protection: Programmable BIOS (Flash EEPROM) that offers enhanced ACPI for Windows 98/ME/2000 compatibility, built-in firmware-based virus protection, and autodetection of most devices for a virtual automatic setup. • Integrated Infrared (IrDA) Support: Supports an optional infrared port module for wireless interface. • Desktop Management Interface (DMI): Supports DMI through BIOS that allows hardware to communicate within a standard protocol and create a higher level of compatibility. (Requires DMI-enabled components.) • Onboard LED: Comes with a power LED that lights up if there is any standby power on the motherboard. This LED acts as a reminder to turn off the system power before plugging or unplugging devices to prevent damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and other system components. • Onboard Audio: Audio models come with the C-Media CMI8738 audio chip to support HRTF-based 3D positional audio through a DirectSound 3D interface. The audio chipset also supports legacy audio SB16-compatible devices. • Easy Connectivity and System Information Access: Supports an optional ASUS iPanel, an easy-to-access box with system diagnostic display area, system status LEDs, USB ports, and hot keys. The AFPANEL connector on the motherboard accommodates the ASUS iPanel to allow convenient connectivity and system monitoring. ASUS CUV4X-E User's Manual 9
