EEPROM), offering enhanced ACPI for Windows 98 compatibility, built-in firm-
ware-based virus protection, and autodetection of most devices for virtually au-
tomatic setup.

more control and protection over the motherboard. Provides Vcore and CPU/
SDRAM frequency adjustments, boot block write protection, and HD/SCSI/MO/
ZIP/CD/Floppy boot selection. Hardware random number generator supports new

2.1.2 Optional Components
The following onboard components are optional at the time of purchase:
• Smart Audio! Software Audio and Hardware AC’97 V2.1 codec compliant with
sample rate conversion form 7kHz to 48kHz. Full audio output can be directed
to the chassis’ internal speaker in order to save space and money while reducing
complications associated with external speakers.
• Smart Networking! Features the Intel 82559 Fast-Ethernet LAN Controller
(fully integrated 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX). Supports TCO function.
• Space Savings! Digital Flat Panel (DFP) Interface gives a direct digital connec-
tion for connecting a digital flat panel (analog flat panel must be connected to
the VGA-out connector) to your PC. This interface transmits sharp, bright im-
ages by eliminating digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital conversions, which
can accumulate noise and degrade image quality.
• No Messy Wires! Integrated Consumer IR and Standard IR supports an op-
tional remote control package for wireless interfacing with external peripherals,
personal gadgets, or an optional remote controller.
