II. FEATURES Smart Series II. FEATURES • Voltage Monitoring and Alert - System voltage levels are monitored to ensure stable current to critical motherboard components. Voltage specifications are more critical for future processors, so monitoring is necessary to ensure proper system configuration and management. • System Resources Alert - Today's operating systems such as Windows 95, Windows NT, and OS/2, require much more memory and hard drive space to present enormous user interfaces and run large applications. The system resource monitor will warn the user before the system resources are used up to prevent possible application crashes. Suggestions will give the user information on managing their limited resources more efficiently. • CPU Slow Down - If the CPU fan malfunctions, the system will deactivate the CPU Clock line to decrease CPU utilization to the speed upon detection of system overheat. This will prevent CPU damage from system overheat. The CPU utilization will restore normal operations when temperature falls below a safe level. • Auto Fan Off - The system fans will power off automatically even in sleep mode. This function reduces both energy consumption and system noise, and is a important feature to implement silent PC systems. • Remote Ring On (requires ATX power supply) - This allows a computer to be turned on remotely through a modem. With this benefit on-hand, any user can access vital information from their computer from anywhere in the world! • Message LED - Chassis LEDs now act as information providers. Through the way a particular LED illuminates, the user can determine the stage the computer is in. A simple glimpse provides useful information to the user. 10 ASUS SP98AGP-X User's Manual
