Specifications
•
Wake-On-Ring Connector: Supports Wake-On-Ring activity through a PCI
modem card that supports a WOR connector.
•
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.
•
SMBus: Features the System Management Bus interface, which is used to physi-
cally transport commands and information between SMBus devices.
•
PCI/ISA/AMR Expansion Slots: Provides five 32-bit PCI (Rev. 2.2) expan-
sion slots, which can support Bus Master PCI cards, such as SCSI or LAN cards
(PCI supports up to 133MB/s maximum throughput), one 16-bit ISA expansion
slot, and one Audio Modem Riser (AMR) slot, which supports a very affordable
audio and/or modem riser card. (Only an ISA-side AMR card can be used.)
•
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.
•
Enhanced ACPI & Anti-Boot Virus Protection: Programmable BIOS (Flash
EEPROM), offering enhanced ACPI for Windows 98 compatibility, built-in firm-
ware-based virus protection, and autodetection of most devices for virtually au-
tomatic setup.
•
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.
•
Smart BIOS: 2MB firmware provides Vcore and CPU/SDRAM frequency ad-
justments, boot block write protection, and HD/SCSI/MO/ZIP/CD/Floppy boot
selection. Power supply is autodetected to enable/disable suspend-to-RAM, elimi-
nating the need to make jumper adjustments.
•
Integrated Infrared Support: Integrated IR supports an optional remote con-
trol package for wireless interfacing with external peripherals, personal gad-
gets, or an optional remote controller.
•
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.)
