Optional Hardware Connectors - ECS P5TX-Apro User Manual

P5TX–Apro User's Manual
2: Using Your Mainboard – 2.9
The default setting is ATX, so you will not need to change this
if you are using an ATX power supply. With an ATX power sup-
ply, the system will turn the power off automatically when exit-
ing Windows95.
"PC Health" Monitoring
In order to detect potentially damaging conditions while the
mainboard is operating, the mainboard has an onboard sensor
that monitors temperature and voltage levels. In the event that
these exceed predefined limits, the system will automatically re-
act in attempt to prevent damage.
The PC Health Monitor section of the CMOS Setup utility
sets the controls for this feature and also displays data from the
onboard sensor.
UltraDMA Hard Disk Drive Support
This mainboard supports hard disks that use UltraDMA data
transfer. You attach an UltraDMA drive to one of the IDE cables.
If you use the Optimum Settings feature in the CMOS Setup
utility the system will automatically detect the drive and config-
ure the system to use it.

Optional Hardware Connectors

There are additional feature connectors on the mainboard for
optional ports. These require optional external port hardware.
IR Ports
There is one standard and one optional connector on the main-
board which support an IR (infrared) port module that enables
wireless communication between the computer and other com-
puters and devices with an infrared port. The default IR connec-
tor, J13, is for SIR and the optional J12 connector is for Fast IR..
The port module is an optional component. If it is installed,
you must set the UART 2 line in the Integrated Peripherals sec-
tion of the CMOS Setup utility to the appropriate IR mode used
by the module.
