.3 Special features
1.3.1 Product highlights
Latest processor technology
The PR-DLS533 motherboard supports the Intel
®
Xeon processor via dual
603/604-pin surface mount ZIF sockets. The processor features the Intel
®
NetBurst™micro-architecture that includes hyper-pipelined technology, a
rapid execution engine, a 533/400MHz system bus, and an execution trace
cache to offer a significant increase in performance. See page 2-4 for more
information.
DDR memory support
Employing the Double Data Rate (DDR) memory technology, the
PR-DLS533 motherboard supports up to 12GB of system memory using
PC2100/1600 registered ECC DDR DIMMs. The ultra-fast 266MHz
memory bus doubles the speed of the PC133 SDRAM to deliver the
required bandwidth for the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet
applications. See page 2-10.
Dual-channel Ultra320 SCSI
The LSI
®
53C1030 64-bit/100MHz PCI-X SCSI controller is onboard to
support dual-channel Ultra320 SCSI connectors that provide high-speed
data transfer interfaces.
Advanced 64-bit PCI-X slots
The 64-bit/133MHz PCI-X slots onboard maximizes I/O bandwidth for the
next generation 64-bit PCI-X cards that support 133MHz bus. The PCI-X
specification 1.0a allows full peer-to-peer transactions between PCI buses
and provides options for intelligent I/O and server management cards.
ATA/100 IDE support
The dual-channel bus master IDE connectors comply with the ATA/100
protocol and supports ATA/100, Multi-Word DMAMode2, PIO modes 3 & 4
IDE devices such as ATAPI IDE CD-ROM, CD-R/RW, ZIP, and LS-120
drives.

ASUS PR-DLS533 motherboard user guide 1-3
Onboard LAN
The motherboard comes with the Intel
®
82540EM 32-bit PCI Gigabit
Ethernet controller and the Intel
®
82544GC 64-bit PCI-X Gigabit Ethernet
controller to support the latest LAN technologies. The Intel
®
82551QM Fast
Ethernet controller is an option.
Onboard VGA
The ATI Rage-XL PCI-based VGA controller integrates an 8MB display
SDRAM to provide onboard video solution.

1-4 Chapter 1: Product introduction
1.3.2 Value-added solutions
Temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring
The CPU temperature is monitored by the ASUS ASIC to prevent
overheating and damage. The system fan rotations per minute (RPM) is
monitored for timely failure detection. The system voltage levels are
monitored to ensure stable supply of current for critical components.
Dual function power switch
While the system is ON, pressing the power switch for less than 4 seconds
puts the system to sleep mode or to soft-off mode, depending on the BIOS
setting. Pressing the power switch for more than 4 seconds lets the
system enter the soft-off mode regardless of the BIOS setting.
Remote Ring In
This feature allows the system to wake up remotely through an internal or
external modem, if present.
Wake-Up support
The motherboard includes Wake-On-LAN, Wake-On-Ring, and BIOS
Wake-Up features.
Server management
The motherboard comes with an ASMC connector that supports the
optional ASMC-HE/ME/LE card to comply with server reliability, availability,
and serviceability requirements. Remote management response via
remote diagnostics and troubleshooting still works even when the
operating system has stopped functioning.
ACPI ready
The Advanced Configuration power Interface (ACPI) provides more energy
saving features for operating systems that support OS Direct Power
Management (OSPM).
Concurrent PCI
This feature allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI master buses to the
memory and processor.

ASUS PR-DLS533 motherboard user guide 1-5
Auto fan off
The system fans power off automatically when the system is in sleep
mode. This feature reduces both power consumption and system noise.
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.
Smart BIOS
The 4Mbit firmware gives an easy-to-use interface that provides more
control and protection to the motherboard. The BIOS has a boot block
write protection and HD/SCSI/MO/ZIP/CD/Floppy boot selection, and is
Year 2000 certified.
Compliance
Both the BIOS and the hardware levels of the motherboard meet the
stringent requirements for SDG 2.0 certification. The new SDG 2.0
requirements for systems and components are based on the following
high-level goals: support for Plug-and-Play compatibility and power
management for configuring and managing all system components, 32-bit
device drivers, and installation procedures for Windows NT/2000/XP.
Color-coded connectors and descriptive icons make identification easy as
required by the PC ‘99 specification.
