Onboard Audio Features
 0-bit stereo full-duplex codec with independent variable
sampling rate
 High quality differential CD input
 True stereo line level outputs
 S/PDIF-in/out interface
 6-channel audio output
S/PDIF
S/PDIF is a standard audio file transfer format that transfers digital
audio signals to a device without having to be converted first to an
analog format. This prevents the quality of the audio signal from
degrading whenever it is converted to analog. S/PDIF is usually
found on digital audio equipment such as a DAT machine or audio
processing device. The S/PDIF connector on the system board sends
surround sound and 3D audio signal outputs to amplifiers and
speakers and to digital recording devices like CD recorders.
6-channel Audio
The surround connector which supports four audio output signals:
center channel, subwoofer, rear right channel and rear left channel;
together with the line-in and mic-in jacks (at the rear panel) support
6-channel audio output.

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.

1.1.2 System Health Monitor Functions
The system board is capable of monitoring the following system
health conditions.
 Monitors CPU/system temperature and overheat alarm
 Monitors CPU/1.5V/5VSB/VBAT/3.3V/5V/±1 V voltages and
failure alarm
 Monitors the fan speed of the CPU fan, chassis fan and second
fan; and failure alarm
 Automatic chassis fan and second fan on/off control
 Read back capability that displays temperature, voltage and fan
speed
 Opened chassis alarm
Refer to the PC Health Status section in chapter 3 and the
Hardware Monitor section in chapter 4 for more information.
1.1.3 Intelligence
Automatic Chassis/Second Fan Off
The chassis fan and second fan 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
from an external modem or respond to calls from a modem PCI
card that uses the PCI PME (Power Management Event) signal to
remotely wake up the PC.
Important:
If you ar using a mod m add-in card, th 5VSB pow r sourc
of your pow r supply must support a minimum of ≥ 720mA.

Introduction

14
Wake-On-LAN
This feature allows the network to remotely wake up a Soft Power
Down (Soft-Off) PC. It is supported via the onboard LAN port, via
a PCI LAN card that uses the PCI PME (Power Management Event)
signal or via a LAN card that uses the Wake-On-LAN connector.
However, if your system is in the Suspend mode, you can power-on
the system only through an IRQ or DMA interrupt.
Important:
Th 5VSB pow r sourc of your pow r supply must support
≥ 720mA.
Wake-On-Keyboard/Wake-On-Mouse
This function allows you to use the keyboard or PS/ mouse to
power-on the system.
Important:
Th 5VSB pow r sourc of your pow r supply must support
≥ 720mA.
Wake-On-USB Keyboard
This function allows you to use a USB keyboard to wake up a
system from the S3 (STR - Suspend To RAM) state.
Important:
 If you ar using th Wak -On-USB K yboard function for 2
USB ports, th 5VSB pow r sourc of your pow r supply
must support ≥ 1.5A.
 If you ar using th Wak -On-USB K yboard function for 3
or mor USB ports, th 5VSB pow r sourc of your pow r
supply must support ≥ 2A.
RTC Timer to Power-on the System
The RTC installed on the system board allows your system to
automatically power-on on the set date and time.

ACPI STR
The system board is designed to meet the ACPI (Advanced
Configuration and Power Interface) specification. ACPI has energy
saving features that enables PCs to implement Power Management
and Plug-and-Play with operating systems that support OS Direct
Power Management. Currently, only Windows® 98SE/ 000/ME/XP
supports the ACPI function. ACPI when enabled in the Power
Management Setup will allow you to use the Suspend to RAM
function.
With the Suspend to RAM function enabled, you can power-off the
system at once by pressing the power button or selecting Standby
when you shut down Windows® 98SE/ 000/ME/XP without having
to go through the sometimes tiresome process of closing files,
applications and operating system. This is because the system is
capable of storing all programs and data files during the entire
operating session into RAM (Random Access Memory) when it
powers-off. The operating session will resume exactly where you left
off the next time you power-on the system.
Important:
Th 5VSB pow r sourc of your pow r supply must support
≥ 1A.
AC Power Failure Recovery
When power returns after an AC power failure, you may choose to
either power-on the system manually, let the system power-on
automatically or return to the state where you left off before power
failure occurs.
Virus Protection
Most viruses today destroy data stored in hard drives. The system
board is designed to protect the boot sector and partition table of
your hard disk drive.
