socket s to the board. The fax/modem supports the V.90 protocol that allows
transmissions at up to 56Kbps and is fully compatible with earlier transmission and
error correction standards. It supports automatic fall back and caller ID.
Solid Expansion Options
Because this is a highly integrated board with built-in audio and a full set of I/O ports,
it does not require a full set of expansion slots. The board provides three usable slots.
The board has three 32-bit PCI slots and one 8/16-bit ISA slot. The ISA slot is shared
with one of the PCI slots meaning that you can use either the ISA slot or the PCI slot,
but not both at the same time.
Integrated I/O
Using the Winbond W83877TF I/O chip and the SiS 620 chipset, the board has a
comprehensive set of integrated I/O ports. The I/O port array features PS/2 keyboard
and mouse ports, a parallel port, two USB ports, one serial port, a monitor port, a
game/MIDI port, and three audio jacks. Optionally, you can use the built-in mainboard
headers to add in an infrared port or a second serial port. The mainboard has two PCI-
IDE channels and a floppy disk drive interface.
Keyboard Power On Feature
Using the system BIOS setup program, you can configure the system to turn on using
a keyboard-typed password. A green keyboard is not required.
Programmable Firmware
The mainboard includes Award BIOS which allows BIOS setting of CPU parameters.
The fully programmable firmware enhances the system features and allows users to set
power management, CPU and memory timing, LAN and modem wake-up alarms, and
so on. The firmware can also be used to set parameters for different Celeron processor
clock speeds so that you don't need to change mainboard jumpers and switches.
