2.1.4 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 dam-

age, 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 operating systems, such as Windows 98, Win-

dows NT, and OS/2, 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 either the bundled ASUS PC Probe or Intel LDCM

will warn 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 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 any information from their computers from anywhere in the world.

• Message LED (requires ACPI OS support): Message LEDs now act as infor-

mation providers. Through the way a particular LED illuminates, the user can

determine if a message has been received from a fax/modem. A simple glimpse

provides useful information to the user. This function requires ACPI OS and

driver support.

• Peripheral Power Up: Keyboard or Mouse power up can be enabled or dis-

abled through BIOS setup to allow the computer to be powered ON using your

keyboard or mouse click.
