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.
Maximum Expansion Options
This is a full-sized ATX mainboard that offers the maximum in system
expansion. The board has a total of 7 expansion slots. The AGP slot can
be used by an AGP graphics adapter. The four 32-bit PCI slots can be
used by PCI expansion cards, and the two 8/16-bit ISA slots can be used
by legacy ISA expansion cards. One of the PCI slots is shared with one
of the ISA slots. This means that you can use either one of these slots
but not both at the same time. With six usable slots, this mainboard can
be installed with a full set of optional expansion cards.
Integrated I/O
Using the Winbond W83977EF-AW I/O chip and the Intel BX 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, 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 the GL520SM hardware monitoring chip.
Using this chip and the monitoring software supplied with the system,
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 or hot key. 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.
