2. FEATURES
•
•
•
•
SMBus: Features the System Management Bus interface, which is used to
physically transport commands and information between SMBus devices.
Wake-Up Support: Supports Wake-On-LAN and Wake-On-Ring, and BIOS
Wake-Up.
LPC Server I/O: Provides two high-speed UART compatible serial ports and
one parallel port with EPP and ECP capabilities.
Chassis Intrusion Detection: Chassis intrusion circuitry can log chassis open
events into the system BIOS. The onboard battery supports detection even when
normal power is removed and through a new design, battery drain is even lower
than the RTC used for keeping time!
•
•
•
Server Health Monitoring: Provides an easy way to examine and manage system
status information, such as CPU and systerm voltages, temperatures, and fan
status through the onboard hardware ASUS ASIC.
Enhanced ACPI: Programmable BIOS (Flash EEPROM), offering enhanced
ACPI for Windows NT/2000/XPcompatibility, and autodetection of most devices
for virtually automatic setup.
Smart BIOS: 4Mbit firmware gives a new easy-to-use interface which provides
more control and protection over the motherboard. Provides boot block write
protection, and HD/SCSI/MO/ZIP/CD/Floppy boot selection. Year 2000 certified.
•
•
CPU Throttling: CPU throttling protects CPU from overheating.
Integrated IOAPIC: Supports full 32-APIC entries and removes the need for a
separate IOAPIC chip.
•
ASUS Server Management Card: The optional ASMC-LE and ASMC-ME
cards support Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI), system health
monitor, and LAN security mode solutions to achieve server reliability,
availability, and serviceability requirements.

2. FEATURES
2.1.2 Performance
•
UltraPerformance: Onboard Ultra160/320 (depending on model) dual channel
SCSI controller with two connectors that support 30 Ultra160/320 SCSI devices
in two channels.
•
•
Dual Speeds: CPU frequency can operate at either 133MHz or 100MHz
depending on the CPU installed.
High-Speed Data Transfer Interface: SCSI transfers using Ultra160/320
(depending on model) dual channel SCSI controller can handle rates up to
160MB/s or 320MB/s. Ultra160/320 is backward compatible with slower SCSI
devices so that older SCSI devices are not wasted. (Ultra160/320 SCSI cables
have twisted pairs compared to flat ribbon cables used in older SCSI standards.)
•
Advanced 64-bit PCI: Maximizes IO bandwidth for the next generation of 64-
bit PCI cards, supports up to (2) full 64-bit 66/33MHz PCI busses, and supports
up to (4) 32-bit 33MHz PCI busses.
•
Full Peer-to-Peer Support: Allows full peer-to-peer transactions between PCI
busses and increases options for intelligent IO and Server Management cards.
•
SDRAM Optimized Performance: This motherboard supports PC133
“registered” Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) that
increases the data transfer rate up to 1064MB/s.
•
•
ACPI Ready: Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) is also
implemented on allASUS smart series motherboards.ACPI provides more Energy
Saving Features for future operating systems (OS) supporting 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.
To fully utilize the benefits of ACPI, an ACPI-supported OS, such as Windows
98, must be used.
New Compliancy: Both the BIOS and hardware levels of the motherboard meet
the stringent requirements for SDG2.0 certification. The new SDG2.0
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 Windows NT/2000/XP. Color-coded connectors and
descriptive icons make identification easy as required by PC ‘99.

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 hardwareASUS
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 optionalASMC-LE andASMC-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.
