ASUS P2L-N/P2E-N User’s Manual 9

ASUS P2L-N/P2E-N Special Features:

• ACPI Ready: Features ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface)

is also implemented on all ASUS smart series of motherboards. ACPI provides

more Energy Saving Features for future operating systems (OS) supporting OS

Direct Power Management (OSPM) functionality. With these features imple-

mented 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 the successor of Windows 95 must be used.

• Desktop Management Interface (DMI): Supports DMI through BIOS which

allows hardware to communicate within a standard protocol creating a higher

level of compatibility. (Requires DMI-enabled components.)

• Easy Installation: Incorporates BIOS that supports autodetection of hard disk

drives, PS/2 mouse, and Plug and Play devices to make setup of hard disk drives,

expansion cards, and other devices virtually automatic.

• Enhanced ACPI & Anti-Boot Virus BIOS: Features a programmable BIOS

(Flash EEPROM), offering enhanced ACPI for Windows 98 compatibility, built-

in hardware-based virus protection, and autodetection of most devices for virtu-

ally automatic setup.

• PC ’97 Compliant: Meets PC ’97 compliancy in both the BIOS and hardware

levels of ASUS smart series motherboards. The new PC ‘97 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 pro-

cedures for both Windows 95 or its successor and Windows NT.

• Symbios SCSI BIOS: Supports optional ASUS SCSI controller cards through

onboard firmware.

• Wake on LAN: Supports Wake on LAN activity through optional ASUS

PCI-L101 Fast Ethernet card.

ASUS P2L-N/P2E-N Performance

• Concurrent PCI: Supports concurrent PCI, allowing multiple PCI transfers

from PCI master buses to memory to CPU.

• Double the IDE Transfer Speed: Supports Ultra DMA/33 Bus Master IDE,

which can imporve data transfers up to 33MB/s. The best of all is that this new

technology is compatible with existing ATA-2 IDE specs so there is no need to

upgrade current hard drives or cables.

• SDRAM Optimized Performance: Supports the new generation memory, Syn-

chronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM), which increases the

data transfer rate from 264MB/s max (using EDO memory) to 528MB/s max

(using SDRAM).
