II. FEA TURES Specifications II. FEATURES Features of the ASUS P2V Motherboard The ASUS P2V is carefully designed for the demanding PC user who wants ad- vanced features processed by the fastest CPU. • Multi-Speed: Supports Intel Pentium® II (233 to 500MHz) and CeleronTM (266MHz and faster) processors. • Multi-Cache: Supports processors with or without Pipelined Burst Level 2 cache. • VIA Chipset: Features VIA's VT82C693 chipset with I/O subsystems and front-side bus (FSB) platform, which boosts the traditional 66-MHz internal bus speed to 100MHz. • Enhanced ACPI and Anti-Boot Virus BIOS: Features a programmable BIOS, offering en- hanced ACPI for Windows 98 compatibility, built-in hardware-based virus protection through Trend ChipAway Virus, and autodetection of most devices for virtually automatic setup. • PC100 Memory Support: Equipped with three DIMM sockets to support Intel PC100compliant SDRAMs (8, 16, 32, 64, 128 or 256MB) up to 768MB. These new SDRAMs are necessary to meet the enhanced 100MHz bus speed requirement. • Thermal Sensor Connector with Optional Sensor: Accurately detects the CPU temperature of processors with the ASUS Smart Fan or the Intel boxed processor heatsink with fan when connected to an ASUS P2T-Cable. • Hardware Monitoring: Provides a convenient utility to monitor your system's vital components/activities, such as fan rotations, voltages, and temperatures. • Wake-On-LAN: Supports Wake-On-LAN activity with special network cards, such as the ASUS PCI-L101 10/100 Fast Ethernet PCI card. • AGP Slot: Supports Accelerated Graphics Port cards for high performance, component level interconnect targeted at 3D graphical display applications. • SMBus: Features the System Management Bus interface, which is used to physically transport commands and information between SMBus devices. • PCI & ISA Expansion Slots: Provides four 32-bit PCI and three 16-bit ISA slots. • Intelligence: Supports Keyboard Power Up, Fan Status Monitoring and Alarm, Temperature Monitoring and Alert, Voltage Monitoring and Alert, System Resources Alert, Intel LANDesk Client Manager (LDCM), and ASUS PC Probe software. • 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. • 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.) (See section V) • Ultra DMA/33 Bus Master IDE: Comes with an onboard PCI Bus Master IDE controller with two connectors that support four IDE devices in two channels, supports UltraDMA/33, PIO Modes 3 and 4 and Bus Master IDE DMA Mode 2, and supports Enhanced IDE devices, such as Tape Backup, CD-ROM, and LS-120 drives. • Universal Retention Mechanism: Supports a Pentium® II processor packaged in a Single Edge Contact Cartridge (SECC/SECC2) or a CeleronTM processor packaged in a Single Edge Processor Package (SEPP). • SCSIBIOS:SupportsoptionalASUSSCSIcontrollercardsthroughonboardSYMBIOSfirmware. • IrDA: Supports an optional infrared port module for wireless interface. • Concurrent PCI: Allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI master buses to memory to CPU. 8 ASUS P2V User's Manual
