1.2 Special Features of the System Board

CPU Overheat Protection

CPU Overheat Protection has the capability of monitoring the CPU’s

temperature during system boot up. Once the CPU’s temperature

exceeded the temperature limit pre-defined by the CPU, the system

will automatically shutdown.This preventive measure has been added

to protect the CPU from damage and insure a safe computing

environment.

DDR

DDR (Double Data Rate) is a type of SDRAM that doubles the

data rate through reading and writing at both the rising and falling

edge of each clock. This effectively doubles the speed of operation

therefore providing two times faster data transfer.

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 audio jacks at the rear panel will support 6-channel audio only

when the audio utility is configured to support this function.
