Optional Built-in Communications
The mainboard has an integrated fax/modem connector. As an option,
you can purchase a fax/modem extension bracket which connects the
line and telephone RJII sockets 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.
Expansion Options
Although this is a micro-ATX board, it has a generous allocation of
expansions slots. One AGP slot is available for the installation of an
Accelerated Graphics Port graphics adapter. Three 32-bit PCI slots can
be used by PCI expansion cards. One legacy 8/16-bit ISA slot can be
used by ISA cards. The ISA slot is shared with one of the PCI slots. This
means that you can use either the ISA slot or the PCI slot, but you
cannot use both at the same time.
Integrated I/O
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, two serial ports, a monitor port, a game/MIDI port, and three audio
jacks. Optionally, you can use the built-in mainboard header to add in an
infrared port. The mainboard has two PCI-IDE channels and a floppy
disk drive interface.
Hardware Monitoring
The mainboard is installed with an integrated hardware monitoring
system (GL525SM). Using this system and the monitoring software
supplied with the board, users and system administrators can monitor
critical parameters such as the CPU temperature, the fan speeds and so
on. Hardware monitoring helps maintain the system and reduce
maintenance costs and downtime.
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.
