more control and protection over the motherboard. Provides Vcore and CPU/
SDRAM 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.
•
•
•
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.
Onboard LED: The onboard LED lights up when there is standby power to the
motherboard. This acts as a reminder to the user to turn OFF the power before
plugging and unplugging devices so as not to damage the motherboard,
peripherals, and/or components.
Onboard Audio: Audio models come with the AC ’97-compliant interfaces
that support integrated audio and modem features that comprise digital audio
engine with 3D-hardware accelerator, on-chip sample rate converter, and a
professional wavetable.

2. FEATURES
2.1.2 Specifications–Optional Components
The following onboard components are optional at the time of purchase:
•
Smart Networking: Features 3Com’s 3C920 Fast Ethernet controller, which
supports Wired for Management, remote wake-up, and OnNow initiatives to
reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
• OnboardAudio: AC’97Audio chipset supports the latest audio sound circuitry.
A software package helps setup the multi-channel PC sound system.
2.1.3 Performance
•
UltraPerformance: Onboard IDE Bus Master controller with two connectors that
support four IDE devices in two channels. Supports UltraDMA/100, UltraDMA/
66, UltraDMA/33 (IDE DMA Mode 2), PIO Modes 3 & 4, and supports Enhanced
IDE devices, such as DVD-ROM, CD-ROM, CD-R/RW, LS-120, and Tape Backup
drives.
•
High-Speed Data Transfer Interface: IDE transfers using UltraDMA/66 Bus
Master IDE can handle rates up to 66.6MB/s. This motherboard with its chipset
and support for UltraDMA/100 increases the data transfer rate to 100MB/s.
UltraDMA/100 is backward compatible with DMA/66, DMA/33, and DMA and
with existing DMA devices and systems so there is no need to upgrade current
EIDE/IDE drives and host systems. (UltraDMA/66/100 requires a 40-pin 80-
conductor cable to be enabled.)
•
Concurrent PCI: Concurrent PCI allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI master
buses to memory and processor.
•
SDRAM Optimized Performance: This motherboard supports PC133-
compliant Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM), which
increases the data transfer rate to 1066MB/s max.
•
ACPI Ready: Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) is also
implemented on allASUS smart series motherboards.ACPI provides more Energy
Saving Features for future operating systems (OS) supporting OS Direct Power
Management (OSPM) functionality. With these features implemented in the OS,
PCs can be ready around the clock, yet satisfy all the energy saving standards.
To fully utilize the benefits of ACPI, an ACPI-supported OS, such as Windows
98, must be used.
•
•
Suspend and Go: Suspend-to-RAM (STR) provides maximum power savings
as an alternative to leaving the computer ON and QuickStart™ so that you do
not have to wait for a long time for system bootup.
Stepless Frequency Selection: Allows CPU external (FSB) frequency settings
to be raised or lowered in MHz increments.

2. FEATURES
• PC’99 Compliant: Both the BIOS and hardware levels of ASUS smart series
motherboards are PC’99 compliant. The new PC’99 requirements for systems
and components are based on the following high-level goals: support for Plug-
n-Play capability and power management for configuring and managing all system
components, and 32-bit device drivers and installation procedures for
Windows95/98/NT . Color-coded connectors and descriptive icons make
identification easy as required by PC’99.
2.1.4 Intelligence
•
Fan Status Monitoring and Alarm: To prevent system overheat and system
damage, the CPU, power supply, and system fans can be monitored for RPM
and failure. All the fans are set for its normal RPM range and alarm thresholds.
•
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: Windows 98, Windows NT, and OS/2, require much
more memory and hard disk space to present enormous user interfaces and run
large applications. The onboard hardwareASUSASIC in conjunction with either
the bundled ASUS PC Probe or Intel LDCM, will warn you before the system
resources are used up to prevent possible application crashes.
Dual Function Power Button: Through BIOS, the power button can be defined
as the “Stand by” (a.k.a. Suspend or Sleep) button or as the Soft-Off button (see
ATX Power / Soft-Off Switch Lead in 3.8 Connectors for more information).
Regardless of the setting, pushing the power button for more than 4 seconds allows
the computer to enter the Soft-Off mode.
•
•
Remote Ring On (requires modem): This allows a computer to be turned on
remotely through an internal or external modem. With this benefit on hand, you
can access any information from their computers from anywhere in the world.
Message LED (requires ACPI OS support): Message LEDs now act as
information providers. Through the way a particular LED illuminates, you can
determine if a message has been received from a fax/modem. A simple glimpse
provides useful information. This function requiresACPI OS and driver support.
•
Peripheral Power Up: Keyboard or Mouse power up can be enabled or disabled
through BIOS setup to allow the computer to be powered ON using your keyboard
or mouse click.
