This motherboard: • Easy Installation: Is equipped with BIOS that supports auto detection of hard drives and Plug and Play to make setup of hard drives and expansion cards virtually automatic. • Multi-Speed Support: Supports one 150-200MHz Pentium Pro CPU on a ZIF Socket 8. • Intel Chipset: Features Intel's 440FX PCIset with I/O subsystems. • Error Checking and Correcting (ECC): Using Intel's 440FX PCIset together with parity DRAM modules can detect multi-bit memory errors and correct 1-bit memory errors. • Desktop Management Interface (DMI): Supports DMI through BIOS which allows hardware to communicate within a standard protocol creating a higher level of compatibility. • Internal L2 Cache Support: Supports Intel CPU's built-in 256KB/ 512KB (depending on CPU) Level 2 cache so that no external SRAM chips are needed. • Versatile DRAM Memory Support: Supports four 72-pin SIMMs of 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB to form a memory size between 8MB to 256MB. Supports both Fast Page Mode (FPM), Extended Data Output (EDO) SIMMs, and Burst Extended Data Output (BEDO). • ISA and PCI Expansion Slots: Provides three 16-bit ISA slots, four 32-bit PCI slots, and one PCI/MediaBus 2.0 which allows the use of either a standard PCI card or the ASUS MediaBus Card. • ASUS MediaBus Rev 2.0: Features an expansion slot extension shared with PCI Slot 5 for an optional high-performance expansion card which includes two functions in one easy-to-install card. (For revision compatibility information, please refer to page 18.) • Super Multi-I/O: Provides two high-speed UART compatible serial ports and one parallel port with EPP and ECP capabilities. 16 bit I/O fully decoded to meet PC97 standards. UART2 can also be directed from COM2 to the Infrared Module for wireless connections. Two floppy drives of either 5.25" or 3.5" (1.44MB or 2.88MB) are also supported without an external card. The Japanese "Floppy 3 mode" (3.5" 1.2MB) floppy standard is also supported. • NCR SCSI BIOS: This motherboard has firmware that supports the optional ASUS PCI-SC200 SCSI controller cards. 2 P/I-P6NP5 User's Manual

FEATURES
Features of This Motherboard
The P/I-P6NP5 is carefully designed for the demanding PC user who wants
a great many features in a small package.
This motherboard:
•
Easy Installation:
Is equipped with BIOS that supports auto
detection of hard drives and Plug and Play to make setup of hard drives
and expansion cards virtually automatic.
•
Multi-Speed Support:
Supports one 150-200MHz Pentium Pro CPU
on a ZIF Socket 8.
•
Intel Chipset:
Features Intel's 440FX PCIset with I/O subsystems.
•
Error Checking and Correcting (ECC):
Using Intel's 440FX PCIset
together with parity DRAM modules can detect multi-bit memory
errors and correct 1-bit memory errors.
•
Desktop Management Interface (DMI):
Supports DMI through BIOS
which allows hardware to communicate within a standard protocol
creating a higher level of compatibility.
•
Internal L2 Cache Support:
Supports Intel CPU's built-in 256KB/
512KB (depending on CPU) Level 2 cache so that no external SRAM
chips are needed.
•
Versatile DRAM Memory Support:
Supports four 72-pin SIMMs of
4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB to form a memory size between
8MB to 256MB.
Supports both Fast Page Mode (FPM), Extended
Data Output (EDO) SIMMs, and Burst Extended Data Output (BEDO).
•
ISA and PCI Expansion Slots:

32-bit PCI slots, and one PCI/MediaBus 2.0 which allows the use of
either a standard PCI card or the ASUS MediaBus Card.
•
ASUS MediaBus Rev 2.0:
Features an expansion slot extension shared
with PCI Slot 5 for an optional high-performance expansion card which
includes two functions in one easy-to-install card.
(For revision
compatibility information, please refer to page 18.)
•
