Performance

2.FEATURES

 

 

2.FEATURES

2.1.2Special Features

ACPI Ready: Advanced Configuration Power Interface (ACPI) provides more Energy Saving Features for operating systems that support OS Direct Power Management (OSPM) functionality. With these features implemented in the OS, PCs can be ready around the clock, yet satisfy all the energy saving standards. An ACPI-supported OS like Windows 98 must be used for ACPI.

Easy Installation: Incorporates BIOS that supports autodetection of hard disk drives, PS/2 mouse, and Plug and Play devices to make the setup of hard disk drives, expansion cards, and other devices virtually automatic.

New Compliancy: Both the BIOS and hardware levels of this motherboard meet the stringent requirements for PC 99 certification The new PC 99 requirements for systems and components are based on the following high-level goals: Support for Plug and Play compatibility and power management for configuring and managing all system components, and 32-bit device drivers and installation procedures for Windows95/98/NT . Color-coded connectors and descriptive icons make identification easy as required by PC 99.

Symbios SCSI BIOS: Supports optional ASUS SCSI controller cards through the onboard SYMBIOS firmware.

2.1.3 Optional Components

Onboard PCI Audio Controller: A single chip by Creative® Audio supports advanced Audio performance.

Realtek® RTL8139C Ethernet: A single chip fast ethernet controller for 100/ 10 Mbps capacity that supports WOL (Wake-On-LAN) feature.

2.1.4 Performance Features

Concurrent PCI: Concurrent PCI allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI master busses to the memory and processor.

High-Speed Data Transfer Interface: IDE transfers using UltraDMA/33 Bus Master IDE can handle rates up to 33MB/s. This chipset supports UltraDMA/ 100, tripling the data transfer rate to 100MB/s. UltraDMA/100 is backward compatible with DMA/66/33 and with existing DMA devices and systems, so there is no need to upgrade current EIDE/IDE drives and host systems. (UltraDMA/100 requires a 40-pin 80-conductor.)

VCM/SDRAM Optimized Performance: This motherboard supports a new generation memory, NEC® ’s 64Mb Virtual Channel Memory (VCM) Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM), which is compatible to the industry standard SDRAM. The VCM’s core design provides up to 50% higher SDRAM speed at reduced power consumption of about 30%. This motherboard also supports standard SDRAM, which increases the data transfer rate (1.064GB/s max using PC133-compliant SDRAMs and 800MB/s max using PC100-compliant SDRAMs).

2.FEATURES

2.1.4Intelligence

Auto Fan Off: The system fans will power off automatically even in sleep mode. This function reduces both energy consumption and system noise, and is an important feature in implementing silent PC systems.

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.

Fan Status Monitoring and Alarm: To prevent system overheat and system damage, the CPU, power supply, and system fans can be monitored for RPM and failure. All fans are set for its normal RPM range and alarm thresholds.

Remote Ring On (requires modem): This allows a computer to be turned on remotely through an internal or external modem. With this benefit on-hand, users can access vital information from their computers from anywhere in the world!

System Resources Alert: Today’s operating systems such as Windows 95/98/ NT and OS/2, require much more memory and hard drive space to present enormous user interfaces and run large applications. The system resource monitor will warn the user before the system resources are used up to prevent possible application crashes. Suggestions will give the user information on managing their limited resources more efficiently.

Temperature Monitoring and Alert: CPU temperature is monitored by the ASUS ASIC to prevent system overheat and system damage.

Voltage Monitoring and Alert: System voltage levels are monitored to ensure stable voltage to critical motherboard components. Voltage specifications are more critical for future processors, so monitoring is necessary to ensure proper system configuration and management.

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.

3.3Hardware Setup Procedure

Before using your computer, you must complete the following steps:

1.Check Motherboard Settings

2.Install Memory Modules

3.Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)

4.Install Expansion Cards

5.Connect Ribbon Cables, Panel Wires, and Power Supply

6.Setup the BIOS Software

3.4Motherboard Settings

This section explains in detail how to change your motherboard’s function settings through the use of switches and/or jumpers.

WARNING! Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you work on your computer.

1.Unplug your computer when working on the inside.

2.Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as the power supply case.

3.Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or other components.

4.Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the component whenever the components are separated from the system.

5.Ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove the ATX power connector on the motherboard.

WARNING! Make sure that you unplug your power supply when adding or removing system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to your motherboard, peripherals, and/or components. The onboard LED when lit acts as a reminder that the system is in suspend or soft-off mode and not powered OFF.

3.5System Memory (DIMM)

This motherboard uses only Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs). Two sockets are available for 3.3Volt (power level) unbuffered Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) of 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 512MB to form a memory size between 8MB to 1GB. One side (with memory chips) of the DIMM takes up one row on the motherboard. This motherboard also supports NEC’s Virtual Channel (VC) SDRAMs.

Memory speed setup is recommended through SDRAM Configuration under “Chipset Features Setup”.

IMPORTANT (see General DIMM Notes below for more)

SDRAMs used must be compatible with current PC133 SDRAM specification.

DO NOT attempt to mix PC133 SDRAMs with VCM SDRAMs.

3.5.1 General DIMM Notes

DIMMs that have more than 18 chips are not supported on this motherboard.

For the system CPU bus to operate at 100 MHz/133MHz, use only PC100-/PC133- compliant DIMMs.

ASUS motherboards support SPD (Serial Presence Detect) DIMMs. This is the memory of choice for best performance vs. stability.

BIOS shows SDRAM memory on bootup screen.

Single-sided DIMMs come in 16, 32, 64,128, 256MB; double-sided come in 32, 64, 128, 256, 512MB.

WARNING! Be sure that the DIMM you use can handle the specified SDRAM MHz or else bootup will not be possible.

3.5.2Memory Installation

WARNING! Make sure that you unplug your power supply when adding or removing memory modules or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both your motherboard and expansion cards (see 3.3 Hardware Setup Procedure for more information).

Insert the module(s) as shown. Because the number of pins are different on either side of the breaks, the module will only fit in the orientation shown. DRAM SIMM modules have the same pin contacts on both sides. SDRAM DIMMs have different pin contacts on each side and therefore have a higher pin density.

1.Locate the Socket A and open it by pulling the lever gently sideways away from the socket. Then lift the lever upwards. The socket lever must be fully opened (90 to 100 degrees).

2.Insert the CPU with the correct orientation. The notched corner of the CPU must be oriented toward the inner corner of the socket base nearest to the lever hinge.

CAUTION! The CPU fits in one orientation and should drop easily into place. Do not force the CPU into the socket to avoid bending the pins. If the CPU does not fit, check its alignment and look for bent pins.

3.Once completely inserted, press the CPU firmly and close the socket lever until it snaps into its locked position.

4.Place the CPU fan and heatsink on the CPU. The heatsink should entirely cover the CPU. Carefully attach the heatsink locking brace to the plastic clips on the socket base. With the added weight of the CPU fan and heatsink locking brace, no extra force is required to keep the CPU in place.

CAUTION! Take care not to scrape the motherboard surface when mounting a clamp-style processor fan, or else damage may occur. When mounting a heatsink onto your CPU, make sure that exposed CPU capacitors do not touch the heatsink, or else damage may occur! Refer to heatsink/CPU documentation. NOTE! Do not forget to set the correct Bus Frequency and Multiple (available only on unlocked processors) to avoid start-up problems.

3.7.2Assigning IRQs for Expansion Cards

Some expansion cards need an IRQ to operate. Generally, an IRQ must be exclusively assigned to one use. In a standard design, there are 16 IRQs available but most of them are already in use, leaving 6 IRQs free for expansion cards. If your motherboard has PCI audio onboard, an additional IRQ will be used. If your motherboard also has MIDI enabled, another IRQ will be used, leaving 4 IRQs free.

WARNING! Some pins are used for connectors or power sources. These are clearly distinguished from jumpers in the Motherboard Layout. Placing jumper caps over these connector pins will cause damage to your motherboard.

IMPORTANT: Ribbon cables should always be connected with the red stripe to Pin 1 on the connectors. Pin 1 is usually on the side closest to the power connector on hard drives and CD-ROM drives, but may be on the opposite side on floppy disk drives. Check the connectors before installation because there may be exceptions. IDE ribbon cable must be less than 46 cm (18 in.), with the second drive connector no more than 15 cm (6 in.) from the first connector.

1)PS/2 Mouse Connector (Green 6 pin PS2KBMS)

The system will direct IRQ12 to the PS/2 mouse if one is detected. If one is not detected, expansion cards can use IRQ12. See PS/2 Mouse Function Control in 4.4 Advanced Menu.
