.3 Special features
1.3.1 Product highlights
Latest processor technology
The PR-DLSW motherboard supports the Intel
®
Xeon processor via dual
604-pin surface mount ZIF sockets. The processor features the Intel
®
NetBurst™micro-architecture that includes hyper-pipelined technology, a
rapid execution engine, a 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-
DLSW motherboard supports up to 12GB of system memory using
PC2100/1600 registered ECC DDR DIMMs. The ultra-fast 200MHz
memory bus doubles the speed of the PC100 SDRAM to deliver the
required bandwidth for the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet
applications. See page 2-10.
Dual-channel Ultra-160 SCSI
The LSI
®
53C1010R 64-bit/66MHz PCI SCSI controller is onboard to
support dual-channel Ultra-160 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.
AGP Pro 4X slot
The motherboard comes with an Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) Pro 4X
slot for 3.3V/1.5V AGP cards. The slot supports 1X, 2X, or 4X mode bus to
support high performance 3D graphics applications.
Onboard LAN
The motherboard comes with the Intel
®
82551QM Fast Ethernet controller
to fully support 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX Ethernet networking.

ASUS PR-DLSW motherboard user guide 1-3
Onboard audio
The C-Media CMI8738/PCI-SX audio controller is onboard to provide
HTRF-based 3D positional audio (C3DX™) 4-channel audio output.
ATA/100 IDE support
The dual-channel bus master IDE connectors comply with the ATA/100
protocol and supports ATA/100, Multi-Word DMA Mode2, PIO modes 3 & 4
IDE devices such as ATAPI IDE CD-ROM, CD-R/RW, ZIP, and LS-120
drives.

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.
Wake-Up support
The motherboard includes Wake-On-LAN, Wake-On-Ring, and BIOS
Wake-Up features.
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.
Chassis intrusion detection
With this feature, the chassis intrusion circuitry logs “chassis-open”events
into the system BIOS. The onboard battery supports the chassis intrusion
detection feature even when the normal power is removed.
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.

ASUS PR-DLSW motherboard user guide 1-5
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.
