• Two Onboard LEDs: 1) A green LED lights up to indicate that power is available
onboard. It reminds users that standby power is available. The LED also serves
as a reminder to disconnect the power supply when making any change to the
configuration. 2) A red onboard warning LED lights up only if the wrong type
of AGP card is connected to the board.
• Concurrent PCI: Concurrent PCI allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI master
busses to the memory and processor.
• SMBus: Features the System Management Bus interface used to physically
transport commands and information between SMBus devices.
• Desktop Management Interface (DMI): Supports DMI through BIOS that
allows hardware to communicate within a standard protocol and create a higher
level of compatibility. (Requires DMI-enabled components.)
• Enhanced ACPI and Anti-Boot Virus Protection: Programmable BIOS (Flash
EEPROM) that offers enhanced ACPI for Windows XP/2000/ME compatibility,
built-in firmware-based virus protection, and autodetection of most devices for
a virtual automatic setup.
• Chassis Intrusion Detection: Supports chassis-intrusion monitoring through
the ASUS ASIC. A chassis intrusion event is kept in memory on battery power
for more protection.
• PC Health Monitoring: Provides an easy way to test and manage system status
information, such as CPU and system voltages, temperatures, and fan status
through the onboard hardware ASUS ASIC and the bundled ASUS PC Probe.
• Dual Function Power Button: Pushing the power button for less than 4 seconds
when the system is in the working state places the system into one of two states:
sleep mode or soft-off mode, depending on the BIOS or OS setting (See PWR
Button < 4 Secs in 4.5 Power Menu). When the power button is pressed for
more than 4 seconds, the system enters the soft-off mode regardless of the BIOS
setting.
