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. 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.
Programmable Firmware
The mainboard includes Award BIOS that 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 processor clock speeds so
that you don't need to change mainboard jumpers and switches.
