PCI Audio: On audio models, a digital audiochip., CMI-8738, and a special
connector supports the Sony/Philips Digital Interface (S/PDIF) Output/
Input module for coaxial and fiber interfaces. Experience surround sound
and enhanced 3D audio.
Smart Card Reader Support: A special connector for the Smart Card Reader

security in authenticating online transactions, editing IC-based information.
USB2.0: The latest connection standard for next generation components
and peripherals. Compatible with 1.1 USB, the new 2.0 USB protocol
delivers transfer speeds up to 40 times faster at 480Mb/s. NOTE: USB
2.0 is not supported under Win98/WinME.
Temperature, Fan and Voltage Monitoring: CPU temperature is monitored
by the ASUS ASIC through the CPU’s internal thermal diode to prevent
overheating and damage. All system fans are monitored for RPM and
failure. System voltage levels are monitored to ensure stable voltage to
critical motherboard components.
Auto Fan Off: The system fans powers off automatically even in sleep mode.
ACPI Ready: Advanced Configuration Power Interface (ACPI) provides more
Energy Saving Features for operating systems that support OS Direct
Power Management (OSPM).
Onboard LAN (Optional): The motherboard incorporates the RTL8201 PHY
chip to support 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet networking.
Concurrent PCI: Concurrent PCI allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI
master busses to the memory and processor.
Dual Function Power Button: Push the power button for less than 4 seconds
when the system is operating places the system into sleep or soft-off
modes, depending on the BIOS or OS setting. If the power button is
pressed for more than 4 seconds, the system enters soft-off mode.
Chassis intrusion detection: The motherboard supports chassis
intrusion monitoring through the ASUS ASIC. A chassis intrusion event
is retained in the system memory for more protection.
