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.
1.1.2 System Health Monitor Functions
System Health Monitor Fonctions
System Health Monitor Funktions
The system board is capable of monitoring the following system
health conditions.
Monitors processor/system/other devices temperature and over-
heat alarm
Monitors 5VSB/VBAT/1.5V/3.3V/±5V/±12V/processor voltages
and failure alarm
Monitors processor/chassis/power supply fan speed, controls pro-
cessor/chassis fan speed and failure alarm
Automatic fan on/off control
Read back capability that displays temperature, voltage and fan
speed
Opened chassis alarm
If you want a warning message to pop-up or a warning alarm to
sound when an abnormal condition occurs, you must install the
Hardware Doctor utility. This utility is included in the CD that came
with the system board. Refer to the Hardware Doctor Utility section
in chapter 4 for more information.
1.1.3 Intelligence / Intelligence / Intelligente Ausstattungsteile
Automatic CPU/Chassis Fan Off
The CPU and chassis fans will automatically turn off once the system
enters the Suspend mode.

Introduction

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.
External Modem Ring-on
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 external modem
only.
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.
Wake-On-LAN Ready
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.
Important:
The 5VSB power source of your power supply must support
≥
720mA (minimum). If you are using the Suspend to RAM
function, the 5VSB power source must support a minimum of
≥
1.2A.
Wake-On-Keyboard/Wake-On-Mouse
This function allows you to use the keyboard or mouse to power-on
the system. Refer to Jumper Settings for Wake-On-Keyboard/Mouse
in chapter 2 and Setting the Wake-On-Keyboard/Mouse Function in
chapter 3 for more information.
Important:
The power button will not function once a keyboard
password has been set in the KB Power On Password
field of the Integrated Peripherals submenu. You must type
the correct password to power-on the system. If you forgot
the password, power-off the system and remove the
battery. Wait for a few seconds and install it back before
powering-on the system.
The 5VSB power source of your power supply must
support
≥
720mA (minimum). If you are using the Suspend
to RAM function, the 5VSB power source must support a
minimum of
≥
1.2A.

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. Refer to Selecting the Power Lost Resume State in
chapter 3 for more information.
Year 2000 Compliant
Supports hardware Y2K function.
Supports hardware Random Number Generator (RNG) to en-
able a new security and manageability infrastructure for PC.
ACPI
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®98 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®98 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. Refer to Using the Suspend to RAM Function
in chapter 3 for more information.
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.

2.2 System Memory
Mémoire Système
Systemspeichers
The onboard VGA shares 1MB of the
system memory. This is fixed
regardless of the size of the system
memory.
Aside from the 1MB shared memory,
it also uses the Dynamic Display
Memory (DDM) technology. DDM
freely changes in size because graphics
memory is allocated from the system
memory according to current needs.
Refer to chapter 1 for the type of
memory suppor ted by the system
board.
Display Cache (PW65-E and PW65-D only)
The PW65-E and PW65-D system boards are each mounted with
2 SDRAMs that serve as 4MB display cache. The presence of the
display cache will provide better system performance.

Clear CMOS Data
If you encounter the following,
a) CMOS data becomes corrupted;
b) You forgot the supervisor or user
password;
c) You are unable to boot-up the
computer system because the
processors speed/ratio was incorrectly
set in the BIOS;
you can reconfigure the system with the
default values stored in the ROM BIOS.

Warning:
Overclocking a 66MHz FSB
processor to 100MHz will provide
better system performance.
However, not all 66MHz FSB
processors are capable of running at 100MHz bus speed.
Therefore, if you are unable to boot your system when set at
