2.1.2 Performance
•ACPI Ready: Advanced Configuration Power Interface (ACPI) provides more
Energy Saving Features for operating systems that support OS Direct Power
Management (OSPM) functionality. With these features employed in the OS,
PCs can be ready around the clock but comply with energy saving standards. To
fully utilize theACPI benefits, use anACPI-supported OS such as Windows 98.
•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 compatibility and power management for configuring and managing all
system components, and 32-bit device drivers and installation procedures for
Windows 95/98/NT. Color-coded connectors and descriptive icons make
identification easy as required by PC’99.
•High-Speed Data Transfer Interface: Support for UltraDMA/100 through the
onboard IDE bus master controller. doubles the UltraDMA/33 burst transfer
rate to 66.6MB/s. UltraDMA/100 is backward compatible with DMA/66, DMA/
33, and other existing DMA devices to save the need to upgrade current EIDE/
IDE drives. (UltraDMA/66 requires a 40-pin 80-conductor cable).
•ConcurrentPCI: Concurrent PCI allows multiple PCI transfersfrom PCI master
busses to the memory and processor.
•VCM/SDRAM Optimized Performance: This motherboard supports the new
generation memory, NEC 64Mb Virtual Channel Memory (VCM) Synchronous
Dynamic RandomAccess Memory (SDRAM), that is compatible to the industry
standard SDRAM. The VCM core design provides up to 50% higher SDRAM
speed at reduced power consumption of about 30%. This motherboard also
supportsthe standard SDRAM for a the data transfer rate of up to 1.064GB/s using
PC133-compliant SDRAMs and up to 800MB/s using PC100-compliant
SDRAMs.

Intelligence
2.1.3 Intelligence
•Auto Fan Off: The system fans powers off automatically even in sleep mode.
This function reduces both energy consumption and system noise, and is an
important feature in implementing silent PC systems.
•DualFunctionPower Button:Pushing the power button for less than 4 seconds
when the system is in the working state places the system into one of two states:
sleep mode or soft-off mode, depending on the BIOS or OS setting (see PWR
Button < 4 Secs in 4.5 Power Menu). When the power button is pressed for
more than 4 seconds, the system enters the soft-off mode regardless of the BIOS
setting.
•Fan Status Monitoring and Alarm: To prevent system overheat and system
damage, the CPU and system fans can be monitored for RPM and failure. All
fans are set for its normal RPM range and alarm thresholds.
•PowerLED(requiresACPI OS support):The power LED indicates the system
status.
•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, users
can access vital information from their computers anywhere.
•System Resources Alert: Today’s operating systems such as Windows 95/98/
NT and OS/2, require much more memory and hard drive space to present
enormoususerinterfaces and run largeapplications. The system resource monitor
warns the user before the system resources are used up to prevent possible
application crashes. Suggestions provide the user some information on managing
their limited resources more efficiently.
•Temperature Monitoring and Alert: CPU temperature is monitored by the
ASUS ASIC through the CPU’s internal thermal diode (on Pentium III and
Celeron) to prevent system overheat and system damage.
•Voltage Monitoring and Alert: System voltage levels are monitored to ensure
stable voltage to critical motherboard components. Voltage specifications are
more critical for future processors, so monitoring is necessary to ensure proper
system configuration and management.
•Chassis Intrusion Detection: Supports chassis-intrusion monitoring through
the ASUS ASIC. A chassis intrusion event is kept in memory on battery power
for more protection.

WARNING! Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate
Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To avoid damaging them due to static electricity,
follow these precautions whenever you work on your computer.
1. Unplug the computer when working on the internal components.
2. Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or to a metal
object,such asthe powersupplycase, before handlingcomputercomponents.
3. Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips on them.
4. Wheneveryouuninstallanycomponent,placethecomponentsonagrounded
antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the components.
5. Beforeyouinstallorremoveanycomponent,ensurethattheATXpower
supply is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power
supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard,
peripherals, and/or components.
(TIP:When lit, the onboard LED indicates that the system is in suspend or
soft-off mode, not powered OFF. See illustration below.)

2) CPU External Frequency Selection (DIP_SW Switches 5–8)
This option tells the clock generator what frequency to send to the CPU, DRAM,
and the PCI bus. This allows the selection of the CPU’s External frequency (or
BUS Clock). The BUS Clock multiplied by the Frequency Multiple equals the
CPU’s Internal frequency (the advertised CPU speed).
NOTE:Overclocking your processor is not recommended. It may result in a slower
speed.
WARNING! Frequencies other than the recommended CPU bus frequencies are
not guaranteed to be stable.
