.2 FEATURESFeatures
2.FEATURES
2.1.2Performance
•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 employed in the OS, PCs can be ready around the clock but comply with energy saving standards. To fully utilize the ACPI benefits, use an ACPI-supported OS such as Windows 98/ME/2000.
•PC’99 Compliant: Both the BIOS and hardware levels of ASUS smart series motherboards are PC’99 compliant. The new PC’99 requirements for systems and components are based on the following high-level goals: Support for Plug- n-Play compatibility and power management for configuring and managing all system components, and 32-bit device drivers and installation procedures for Windows 98/ME/2000. Color-coded connectors and descriptive icons make identification easy as required by PC’99.
•High-Speed Data Transfer Interface: Support for UltraDMA/100 through the onboard IDE bus master controller. doubles the UltraDMA/33 burst transfer rate to 66.6MB/s. UltraDMA/100 is backward compatible with DMA/66, DMA/33, and other existing DMA devices to save the need to upgrade current EIDE/IDE drives. (UltraDMA/100/66 requires a 40-pin 80-conductor cable).
•Concurrent PCI: Concurrent PCI allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI master busses to the memory and processor.
•VCM/SDRAM Optimized Performance: This motherboard supports the new generation memory, NEC 64Mb Virtual Channel Memory (VCM) Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM), that is compatible to the industry standard SDRAM. The VCM core design provides up to 50% higher SDRAM speed at reduced power consumption of about 30%. This motherboard also supports the standard SDRAM for a the data transfer rate of up to 1.067GB/s using PC133-compliant SDRAMs and up to 800MB/s using PC100-compliant SDRAMs.
•Power Saving Feature: Suspend-to-RAM (STR) provides maximum power savings as an alternative to leaving the computer ON. STR allows QuickStart™ when you get back , so you don’t have to go through the long boot process. (NOTE: This motherboard does not support the Suspend-to-RAM (STR) feature when you install a DIMM into the DIMM4 socket.)

2.FEATURES
2.1.3Intelligence
•Auto Fan Off: The system fans powers 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 and system fans can be monitored for RPM and failure. All fans are set for its normal RPM range and alarm thresholds.
•Power LED (requires ACPI OS support): The power LED indicates the system status.
•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 anywhere.
•System Resources Alert: Today’s operating systems such as Windows 95/98/ 2000/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 warns the user before the system resources are used up to prevent possible application crashes. Suggestions provide the user some information on managing their limited resources more efficiently.
•Temperature Monitoring and Alert: CPU temperature is monitored by the ASUS ASIC through the CPU’s internal thermal diode (on Pentium III and Celeron) 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.HARDWARE SETUP
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 tells you how to change motherboard function settings through the switches and/or jumpers.
WARNING! Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To avoid damaging them due to static electricity, follow these precautions whenever you work on your computer.
1.Unplug the computer when working on the internal components.
2.Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as the power supply case, before handling computer components.
3.Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips on them.
4.Whenever you uninstall any component, place the components on a grounded antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the components.
5.Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.
(TIP: When lit, the onboard LED indicates that the system is in suspend or soft-off mode, not powered OFF.)

5)Clear RTC RAM
These two solder points allow you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS. You can clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and system setup parameters by erasing the CMOS RTC RAM data. The RAM data in CMOS, that include system setup information such as system passwords, is powered by the onboard button cell battery. To erase the RTC RAM: (1) unplug the computer,
(2) short the solder points, (3) plug and turn ON the computer, (4) hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to re-enter data.

6)USB Device Wake-up Jumpers (3-pin USBPWR0, USBPWR1)
These jumpers allow you to enable or disable the USB wake-up feature on the motherboard. Set these two jumpers to ENABLE if you wish to use the USB devices to wake up the computer. This feature requires an ATX power supply that can supply at least 2A on the +5VSB lead. The default setting for both USBPWR0 and USBPWR1 is DISABLE.
NOTES:
1.Before setting either of these jumpers to ENABLE, make sure that you have the appropriate power supply, otherwise the computer does not power up.
2.If you would like to enable the USB wake-up feature, choose ENABLE for both USBPWR0 and USBPWR1 settings.
3.The total current consumed must NOT exceed the power supply capability (+5VSB) whether under normal working conditions or in sleep mode.

3.5System Memory
This motherboard uses only Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs). Four DIMM sockets are available for 3.3Volt (power level) unbuffered Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) of 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512MB, or 1GB densities for a system memory configuration of 32MB up to 1.5GB (no ECC or registered support). One side (with memory chips) of the DIMM takes up one row on the motherboard. This motherboard also supports NEC’s Virtual Channel SDRAMs and Enhanced Memory System’s High-speed DRAMs.
IMPORTANT (see General DIMM Notes below for more)
•SDRAMs used must be compatible with the current Intel PC133 SDRAM specifications.
•DO NOT attempt to mix registered SDRAMs with VCM SDRAMs.

3.5.1General DIMM Notes
•DIMMs that have more than 18 chips are not supported on this motherboard.
•For the system CPU bus to operate 100 MHz/133MHz, use only PC100-/PC133- compliant DIMMs.
•ASUS motherboards support Serial Presence Detect (SPD) DIMMs. This is the memory of choice for best performance vs. stability.
•SDRAM chips are generally thinner with higher pin density than EDO (Extended Data Output) chips.
•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! Make sure that the DIMM you use can handle the specified SDRAM speeds, otherwise the computer does not boot.

3.5.2Memory Installation
WARNING! Make sure that you unplug the power supply when adding or removing memory modules or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both the motherboard and expansion cards (see 3.3 Hardware Setup Procedure for more information).
Insert the module(s) into the DIMM sockets as shown. Because the number of pins are different on either side of the breaks, the module only fits in one direction. SDRAM DIMMs have different pin contacts on each side and have a higher pin density than DRAM SIMMs.

The DIMMs must be 3.3Volt unbuffered SDRAMs. To determine the DIMM type, check the notches on the DIMMs (see the figure below).
The notches on the DIMM shifts between left, center, or right to identify the type and also to prevent the wrong type from being inserted into the DIMM slot on the motherboard. You must tell your retailer the correct DIMM type before purchasing. This motherboard supports four clock signals per DIMM.

Note in the illustration that CPUs have marks (usually a notch or a gold mark on one corner) to help you identify the proper orientation and enable you to correctly install a CPU. It is important that you match the marked corner of the CPU with the corresponding corner on the socket so as not to damage the CPU pins.
The CPU picture above is for reference only. Usually, when you buy a CPU, the heatsink and fan are already attached to the CPU. If a heatsink and fan did not come with the package, make sure you obtain one before installing the CPU.
WARNING! You must install the proper heatsink and fan to the CPU. Failure to do so will cause the CPU to overheat and may damage both the CPU and the motherboard. Install an auxillary fan, if necessary.
CAUTION! Be careful not to scrape the motherboard when mounting/unmounting a clamp-style processor fan to avoid damaging the motherboard.
Proceed to the next section for the steps on how to properly install a CPU.

3.Position the CPU above the socket such that its notched or marked corner matches the socket corner near the end of the lever, while making sure that the CPU is parallel to the socket.
4.Carefuly insert the CPU into the socket until it fits in place.
CAUTION! The CPU fits only in one orientation. Do not force the CPU into the socket to prevent bending the pins and damaging the CPU. If the CPU does not fit completely, check its orientation or check for bent pins.
5.When the CPU is in place, press it firmly on the socket while you push down the socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks on the socket indicating that it is locked.
6.Attach the heatsink and fan to the CPU, if they were not pre-installed by the vendor. Refer to the installation instructions that came with the heatsink and fan.
NOTE: Do not forget to set the correct Bus Frequency and Multiple (frequency multiple setting is available only on unlocked processors) for the processor 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.
IMPORTANT: If using PCI cards on shared slots, make sure that the drivers support “ Share IRQ” or that the cards do not need IRQ assignments. Conflicts arise between the two PCI groups that makes the system unstable or cards inoperable.
The following table lists the default IRQ assignments for standard PC devices. Use this table when configuring your system and for resolving IRQ conflicts.
