CPU Clock Ratio Selection (only available for 366X-AS)
This mainboard comes with an onboard Dip Switch, SW1. SW1 can be used to set the
CPU clock ratio. Note: You can not change the CPU Clock Ratio on all CPU’s. This function
depends on the CPU you are using.
System Memory
The 366 mainboard series uses Double Data Rate Dual Inline Memory Modules (DDR
DIMM). Each mainboard has three 184-pin DIMM sockets. These sockets support 2.5V
(power level) single-sided or double sided PC-1600 or PC-2100 DDR DIMM modules The
maximum memory supported by these mainboards is 3 GB.
Expansion Slots
These mainboards are equipped with five dedicated PCI slots, one CNR slot (not avail-
able for the 366A-BV), which is shared with PCI 5, and one 4x AGP slot.
Onboard Audio Features
Supports Microsoft DirectSound/ DirectSound 3D and AC97 Full Duplex.
Word Size
• Data Path: 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit, 64-bit
• Address Path: 32-bit
Front Side Bus Frequency (FSB)
For a 200 MHz CPU the mainboard supports a 100 MHz FSB. For a 266 MHz CPU the
mainboard supports a 133 MHz FSB.
BIOS
• Award BIOS, Windows 95/98 Plug and Play (PnP) compatible.
• Supports SCSI sequential boot-up.
• Flash EPROM for easy BIOS upgrades.
• Supports DMI 2.0 function
Desktop Management Interface (DMI)
Desktop Management Interface (DMI)
The mainboard comes with DMI 2.0 built into the BIOS. The DMI utility in the BIOS will
automatically record different information about your system configuration and store this
information in the DMI pool, which is a part of the system board's Plug and Play BIOS.
DMI, along with the appropriately networked software, is designed for easy inventory,
maintenance and the simplified troubleshooting of computer systems.
WOL (Wake
WOL (Wake- -On On- -LAN) Port LAN) Port
One WOL connector supports Wake-On-LAN functionality.
WOM (Wake-On-Modem) Port
One WOM connector supports Wake-On-Modem functionality.

Dual Function Power Button
Dual Function Power Button
Depending on the setting in the Soft-Off By Power-Button field of the Power Management
Setup, this switch allows the system to enter the Soft-Off or Suspend mode.
External Modem Ring
External Modem Ring- -on on (optional)
The Modem Ring-on feature allows the system that is in the Suspend mode or Soft Power
Off mode to wake-up/power-on to respond to incoming calls. This feature supports the
external modem only.
RTC Timer to Power
RTC Timer to Power- -on the System on the System
The RTC installed on the system board allows your system to automatically power-on at a
set date and time.
The mainboard is capable of monitoring the following health conditions of your system:
1. Processor temperature. It has an overheat alarm.
2. VCORE/3.3V/5V/12V/-12V voltages and failure alarm.
3. Processor and chassis fan speeds. It has a failure alarm for these fans.
4. Read back capability that displays temperature, voltage and fan speed.
1.4.1. Hardware Monitoring System Utility
The mainboard comes with the Hardware Monitoring System utility contained on the CD.
It is capable of monitoring the system’s hardware conditions such as the temperature of
the processor, voltage, and the speed of both the CPU and chassis fans. You are allowed
to manually set a range to the items being monitored. If the values are over or under the
set range a warning message will automatically pop up. We recommend that you use the
Default Settings, which are the ideal settings that will maintain the system in a good
working condition.
1.4.2. Installation
To install this utility, please insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive. The auto run screen
(Driver Utility) will automatically appear. Click the Hardware Monitoring button, choose
the chipset, model number and the OS that is installed. Please refer to the CD “Readme”
file for further installation instructions.
