Introduction
Level 2 Cache Memory
512KB or 1MB pipeline burst, direct map write-through cache
installed on the system board.
Expansion Slots
The system board is equipped with 1 dedicated AGP slot, 3
dedicated PCI slots, 2 dedicated 16-bit ISA slots and 1 shared PCI/
ISA slot. All PCI and ISA slots are bus masters.
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.
Connectors
2 connectors for external USB ports
1 connector for IrDA interface
2 serial ports
1 parallel port
2 IDE connectors
1 floppy connector
1 PS/2 mouse port
1 PS/2 or AT keyboard port
1 20-pin ATX power supply connector
1 12-pin standard AT power supply connector
PCI Bus Master IDE Controller
Two PCI IDE interfaces support up to four IDE devices
Ultra DMA/33 supported (Synchronous Ultra DMA mode -
data transfer rate up to a maximum of 33MB/sec.)
PIO Mode 3 and Mode 4 Enhanced IDE (data transfer rate up
to 16.6MB/sec.)

USB ports. USB allows data exchange between your computer and
a wide range of simultaneously accessible external Plug and Play
peripherals.
BIOS
Award BIOS, Windows
95/98 Plug and Play compatible
Flash EPROM for easy BIOS upgrades
Flash memory
The system board comes standard with 1MB flash memory. An
optional 2MB flash memory, which includes the ACPI and SDMS
functions, will be provided only upon request.
1.1.2 Intelligence
Monitors Processor Temperature and Overheat Alarm
The system board is able to detect the temperature of the
processor. An alarm will sound in case of processor overheat.
Monitors Processor/AGP Fan Speed and Failure Alarm
The system board is able to detect the fan speed (RPM-Revolutions
Per Minute) of the processor and AGP fans, and alerts you to attend
to any irregularity that may damage your system.
Monitors Power Voltages and Failure Alarm
The system board is able to detect the output voltage of the power
supply. An alarm will sound warning you of voltage irregularity.

Introduction
Automatic Fan Control
With the systems power switched on, the processors fan will rotate
only if the temperature of the processor is over 25oC.
Dual Function Power Button (ATX power supply only)
Depending on the setting in the BIOS setup, this switch will allow
your system to enter the Soft-Off or Suspend mode.
External Modem Ring-on (ATX power supply only)
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.
Note:
This feature supports external modem only. If you are using
this function, make sure to turn on the power of the modem
prior to powering-off the system.
RTC Timer to Power-on the System (ATX power supply only)
The RTC installed on the system board allows your system to
automatically power-on on the set date and time.
ACPI (ATX power supply only)
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.
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.
