2. FEATURES Optional Components 2. FEATURES • Low Pin Count (LPC) 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. • Enhanced ACPI & Anti-Boot Virus Protection: Programmable BIOS (Flash EEPROM), offering enhanced ACPI for Windows 98/2000/Millenium compatibility, built-in firmware-based virus protection, and autodetection of most devices for virtually automatic setup. • Smart BIOS: 2Mbit firmware gives a new easy-to-use interface which provides more control and protection over the motherboard. Provides Vcore and CPU/ RDRAM frequency adjustments, boot block write protection, and HD/SCSI/MO/ ZIP/CD/Floppy boot selection. • IrDA: Supports an optional infrared port module for a wireless interface. • Concurrent PCI: Concurrent PCI allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI mas- ter bus to the memory and processor. 2.1.2 Optional Components • Realtek RTL8139C Ethernet: (optional) Single chip fast ethernet controller for 100/10 Mbps data transfer capacity. (See 4.4.2: I/O Device Configuration in BIOS setup). • IEEE 1394 Controller Interface: (optional) Integrated 3 Port TI® 400Mbps capable link-layer controller and 400Mbps physical layer controller provides the fastest available digital interface for throughput intensive consumer electronics devices like: DV camcorders, digital cameras, scanners, and printers. The IEEE-1394 supports traditional asynchronous data transfer as well as isochronous (real-time) data transfer. Up to 63 peripheral devices may be connected simultaneously. The IEEE 1394 is the fastest available interface for the latest consumer electronics devices. • AC'97 Codec: (optional) The latest high-performance mini-chipset supports hi-fidelity 18-bit stereo, full duplex audio performance. The chipset supporst up to four analog line inputs, two stereo outputs, and one mono output channel. Added featuers include 3D stereo enhancement, and extra true line-level out for headphones and speaker amplifiers. ASUS P4T-CM User's Manual 9
