FEATURES • Firmware Hub: Provides security enhancements in computer platforms, such as RNG. • 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. • SMBus: Features the System Management Bus interface, which is used to physically transport commands and information between SMBus devices. • PCI Expansion Slots: Provides five 32-bit PCI (Rev. 2.2) expansion slots, which 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 Chipset: 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 compatibility, built-in firmware-based virus protection, and autodetection of most devices for virtually automatic setup. • Smart BIOS: 4Mb firmware gives a new easy-to-use interface which provides more control and protection over the motherboard. Provides CPU/RDRAM 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. • IrDA: Supports an optional infrared port module for wireless interface. • Concurrent PCI: Concurrent PCI allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI mas- ter busses to the memory and processor. 2.1.2 Specifications-Optional Components The following onboard components are optional at the time of purchase: • PCI Audio: Provides Crystal CS4280 PCI audio chipset. Full audio output can be directed to the chassis' internal speaker (with 4W capability) to save space, save money, and reduce complications associated with external speakers. • No Messy Wires: Integrated IR supports an optional remote control package for wireless interfacing with external peripherals, personal gadgets, or an optional remote controller.
