The DX37-U / DX37 Plus-U supports the power management function that confirms to the power-saving standards of the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Energy Star program. It also offers Plug-and-Play which helps save users from configuration
problems, thus making to system more user-friendly.
Hardware Monitoring Management
The DX37-U / DX37 Plus-U additional feature includes hardware support for ASM (Advanced Server Management). ASM detects
problems in CPU thermal condition, CPU working voltage detection (±12V/±5V/ 3.3V/1.5V), and PCI bus utilization calculation. It also
detects if the CPU fan or the chassis fan malfunctions.
Super Multi-I/O
The DX37-U / DX37 Plus-U provides two high-speed UART compatible serial ports and one parallel port with EPP and ECP capabilities.
UART can also be directed from COM2 to the Infrared Module for the wireless connections.

Note: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, dis
drives, expansion boards, and other components. Always observe the
following precautions before you install a system component.
1.Do not remove a component from its protective packaging until yo
are ready to install it.
2.Wear a wrist ground strap and attach it to a metal part of the system
unit before handling a component. If a wrist strap is not available,
maintain contact with the system unit throughout any procedure

IDE1 is also known as the primary channel and IDE2 as the secondary channel. Each channel supports two IDE devices that make a
total of four devices. In order to work together, the two devices on each channel must be set differently to Master and Slave mode.
Either one can be the hard disk or the CDROM. The setting as master or slave mode depends on the jumper on your IDE device, so
please refer to your hard disk and CDROM manual accordingly.
Warning: The specification of the IDE cable is a
maximum of 46cm (18 inches), make sure your cable
does not exceed this length.
Tip: For better signal quality, it is recommended
to set the far end side device to master mode
and follow the suggested sequence to install

To use Wake On LAN function, you must have a network card with chipset that supports this feature, and connect a cable from LAN card
to motherboard WOL connector. The system identification information (probably IP address) is stored on network card and because
there is a lot of traffic on the Ethernet, you need to install a network management software, such as ADM, for the checking of how to
wake up the system. Note that, at least 600mA ATX standby current is required to support the LAN card for this function.
