2. FEATURES

2.1.3 Intelligence

• 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 the fans are set for its normal RPM range and alarm thresholds.

• Temperature Monitoring and Alert: To prevent system overheat and system

damage, this motherboard supports processor thermal sensing and auto-protection.

• Voltage Monitoring and Alert: System voltage levels are monitored to ensure

stable current to critical motherboard components. Voltage specifications are more critical for future processors, so monitoring is necessary to ensure proper system configuration and management.

• System Resources Alert: Today’s server operating systems, such as Windows

NT/2000/XP, require much more memory and hard drive space to present enormous user interfaces and run large applications. The onboard hardware ASUS ASIC, in conjunction with ASUS PC Probe, warns 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.

• Dual Function Power Button: Through BIOS, the power button can be defined as the “Stand by” (a.k.a. Suspend or Sleep) button or as the Soft-Off (see ATX Power / Soft-Off Switch Lead in 3.8 Connectors for more information) button. Regardless of the setting, pushing the power button for more than 4 seconds will enter the Soft-Off mode.

• Remote Ring In (requires modem): This allows a computer to wake up remotely through an internal or external modem. With this benefit on-hand, users can access any information from their computers from anywhere in the world.

• Server Management: The motherboard comes with an ASMC card connector (supports the optional ASMC-LE and ASMC-ME cards) that complies with server reliability, availability, and serviceability requirements. Remote management response via remote diagnostics and troubleshooting still works even when the operating system has frozen.

3.7.2 Assigning 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 the motherboard has PCI audio onboard, an additional IRQ will be used. If the motherboard also has MIDI enabled, another IRQ will be used, leaving 4 IRQs free.

The following table lists the default IRQ assignments for standard PC devices. Use this table when configuring your system and for resolving IRQ conflicts.
