 Award BIOS, Windows®95/98/2000/ME Plug and Play
compatible
 Supports SCSI sequential boot-up
 Flash EPROM for easy BIOS upgrades (4Mbit)
 Includes Symbios Logic SCSI BIOS
 Supports DMI 2.0 function
Desktop Management Interface (DMI)
The system board comes with a DMI 2.0 built into the BIOS. The
DMI utility in the BIOS automatically records various information
about your system configuration and stores these 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 to make inventory, maintenance and troubleshooting of
computer systems easier. Refer to chapter 4 for instructions on using
the DMI utility.

The system board is capable of monitoring the following system
health conditions.
 Monitors system temperature and overheat alarm
 Monitors 5VSB/VBAT/1.5V/3.3V/5V/±12V/CPU voltages and
failure alarm
 Monitors the fan speed of the CPU fan, chassis fan and second
fan; controls the fan speed of the CPU fan and chassis fan; and
failure alarm
 Automatic CPU fan and chassis fan on/off control
 Read back capability that displays temperature, voltage and fan
speed

1.1.3 Intelligence
Automatic CPU/Chassis Fan Off
The CPU and chassis fans will automatically turn off once the system
enters the Suspend mode.
Dual Function Power Button
Depending on the setting in the Soft-Off By PWR-BTTN field of
the Power Management Setup, this switch will allow the system to
enter the Soft-Off or Suspend mode.
Wake-On-Ring
This feature allows the system that is in the Suspend mode or Soft
Power Off mode to wake-up/power-on to respond to calls coming
through an internal or external modem. Refer to Wake-On-Ring
Connector in chapter 2 and Resume On Ring in the Power
Management Setup section in chapter 3 for more information.

If you are using a modem add-in card, the 5VSB power source
of your power supply must support ≥ 720mA.
Wake-On-LAN
The Wake-On-LAN function allows the network to remotely wake
up a Soft Power Down (Soft-Off) PC.Your LAN card must support
the remote wakeup function. Refer to Wake-On-LAN Connector in
