(FSB) platform, which boosts the traditional 66-MHz internal bus speed to 100MHz.
Enhanced ACPI and Anti-Boot Virus BIOS: Features a programmable BIOS, offering en-
hanced ACPI for Windows 98 compatibility, built-in hardware-based virus protection through
Trend ChipAway Virus, and autodetection of most devices for virtually automatic setup.
PC100 Memory Support: Equipped with three DIMM sockets to support Intel PC100-
compliant SDRAMs (8, 16, 32, 64, 128 or 256MB) up to 768MB. These new SDRAMs are
necessary to meet the enhanced 100MHz bus speed requirement.
Thermal Sensor Connector with Optional Sensor: Accurately detects the CPU tem-
perature of processors with the ASUS Smart Fan or the Intel boxed processor heatsink
with fan when connected to an ASUS P2T-Cable.
• Hardware Monitoring: Provides a convenient utility to monitor your system’s vital
components/activities, such as fan rotations, voltages, and temperatures.
• Wake-On-LAN: Supports Wake-On–LAN activity with special network cards, such as
the ASUS PCI-L101 10/100 Fast Ethernet PCI card.
• AGP Slot: Supports Accelerated Graphics Port cards for high performance, component

Intelligence: Supports Keyboard Power Up, Fan Status Monitoring and Alarm, Tem-
perature Monitoring and Alert, Voltage Monitoring and Alert, System Resources Alert,
Intel LANDesk Client Manager (LDCM), and ASUS PC Probe software.
Super Multi-I/O: Provides two high-speed UART compatible serial ports and one parallel
port with EPP and ECP capabilities. UART2 can also be directed from COM2 to the Infra-
red Module for wireless connections.
• Desktop Management Interface (DMI): Supports DMI through BIOS, which allows
hardware to communicate within a standard protocol creating a higher level of compat-
ibility. (Requires DMI-enabled components.) (See section V)
• Ultra DMA/33 Bus Master IDE: Comes with an onboard PCI Bus Master IDE controller with
two connectors that support four IDE devices in two channels, supports UltraDMA/33, PIO
Modes 3 and 4 and Bus Master IDE DMA Mode 2, and supports Enhanced IDE devices, such as
Tape Backup, CD-ROM, and LS-120 drives.
• Universal Retention Mechanism: Supports a Pentium® II processor packaged in a Single
Edge Contact Cartridge (SECC/SECC2) or a CeleronTM processor packaged in a Single
Edge Processor Package (SEPP).
SCSI BIOS: Supports optional ASUS SCSI controller cards through onboard SYMBIOS firmware.
IrDA: Supports an optional infrared port module for wireless interface.
