II. FEA TURES Specifications II. FEATURES • Universal Retention Mechanism: Supports a Pentium® III / II processor packaged in a Single Edge Contact Cartridge (SECC2/SECC) or a CeleronTM processor packaged in a Single Edge Processor Package (SEPP). • Wake-On-LAN: Supports Wake-On-LAN activity through an optional ASUS PCI-L101 10/100 Fast Ethernet PCI card (See APPENDIX) or a similar ethernet card. • IrDA: Supports an optional infrared port module for a wireless interface. Special Features: • Enhanced ACPI and Anti-Boot Virus BIOS: Features a programmable BIOS, offering enhanced ACPI for Windows 98 compatibility, built-in firmware-based virus protection through Trend ChipAway Virus codes, and autodetection of most devices for virtually automatic setup. • 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.) • Easy Installation: Incorporates BIOS that supports autodetection of hard disk drives, PS/2 mouse, and Plug and Play devices to make the setup of hard disk drives, expansion cards, and other devices virtually automatic. • PC'98 Compliant: Both the BIOS and hardware levels of ASUS smart series of motherboards meet PC'98 compliancy. The new PC'98 requirements for systems and components are based on the following high-level goals: Support for Plug and Play compatibility and power management for configuring and managing all system components, and 32-bit device drivers and installation procedures for Windows 95/98/NT. • Symbios SCSI BIOS: Supports optional ASUS SCSI controller cards through onboard SYMBIOS firmware. Performance Features: • Concurrent PCI: Concurrent PCI allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI mas- ter busses to the memory and processor. • Double the IDE Transfer Speed: ASUS smart series motherboards with Intel chipsets improves IDE transfer rate using Bus Master UltraDMA/33 IDE which can handle data transfer up to 33MB/s. The best of all is that this new technology is compatible with existing ATA-2 IDE specs so there is no need to upgrade current hard drives or cables. • SDRAM Optimized Performance: Supports the new generation memory - Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) which increases the data transfer rate to 800MB/s max using PC100-compliant SDRAM.
