Chapter 1: Product introduction

USB 2.0 technology

The motherboard implements the new Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0

specification, extending the connection speed from 12 Mbps on USB 1.1 to a fast

480 Mbps on USB 2.0 - supporting up to eight USB 2.0 ports. The higher

bandwidth of USB 2.0 allows connection of devices such as high resolution video

conferencing cameras, next generation scanners and printers, and fast storage

units. USB 2.0 is backward compatible with USB 1.1.

6-Channel Audio solution

The motherboard uses an onboard audio CODEC that lets you enjoy high-quality

6-channel audio without having to buy advanced sound cards.

1.3.2 Unique ASUS features

AI NET solution

The Marvell

88E8001 Gigabit PCI LAN controller chipset is onboard to provide a

single-chip solution for LAN on Motherboard (LOM) applications. The controller

integrates 32-bit 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet Media Access Control

(IEEE 802.3 compliant) and Physical Layer Transceiver solution to support high

performance network applications. The controller is equipped with the

net-diagnosing utility VCT (Virtual Cable Tester), that intelligently diagnoses and

reports cable faults from a remote location up to 100 meters. This feature helps

maintain a more stable network connection.

CrashFree BIOS 2

This feature allows you to restore the original BIOS data from the ASUS support

CD in case when the BIOS codes and data are corrupted. This protection

eliminates the need to buy a replacement ROM chip. See page 2-6.

C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall)

The C.P.R. feature of the motherboard BIOS allows automatic re-setting to the

BIOS default settings in case the system hangs due to overclocking. When the

system hangs due to overclocking, C.P.R. eliminates the need to open the system

chassis and clear the RTC data. Simply shut down and reboot the system, and

BIOS automatically restores the CPU previous setting for each parameter.

ASUS MyLogo2™

This new feature present in the motherboard allows you to personalize and add

style to your system with customizable boot logos. See pages 2-31.
