FCC and DOC Statement on Class B
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Expansion Slots
The system board is equipped with 1 dedicated AGP slot, 3
dedicated PCI slots, 2 dedicated 16-bit ISA slot and 1 shared PCI/
ISA slot. All PCI and ISA slots are bus masters.
Desktop Management Interface (DMI)
The system board comes with a DMI 2.0 built into the BIOS. The
DMI utility in the BIOS automatically records various information
about your system configuration and stores these information in the
DMI pool, which is a part of the system board's Plug and Play
BIOS. DMI, along with the appropriately networked software, is
designed to make inventory, maintenance and troubleshooting of
computer systems easier. Refer to Chapter 4 for instructions on
using the DMI utility.
ATX double deck ports
2 USB ports
2 DB-9 serial ports
1 DB-25 parallel port
1 mini-DIN-6 PS/2 keyboard port
1 mini-DIN-6 PS/2 mouse port
Connectors
1 connector for IrDA interface
2 IDE connectors
1 floppy connector
1 20-pin ATX power supply connector
1 Wake-On-LAN connector
1 SB-LINK connector
2 fan connectors for CPU and chassis fans
Note:
If you are using more than one DIMM, make sure you insert
the same type of DIMMs into the DIMM sockets. Using
different types (VCM and PC SDRAM) of DIMMs may cause
problems.

1.1.3 Intelligence
Automatic CPU/Chassis Fan Off
The CPU and chassis fans will automatically turn off once the
system enters the Suspend mode.
Dual Function Power Button
Depending on the setting in the BIOS setup, this switch will allow
the system to enter the Soft-Off or Suspend mode.
External Modem Ring-on
The Modem Ring-on feature allows the system that is in the
Suspend mode or Soft Power Off mode to wake-up/power-on to
respond to incoming calls.
Note:
This feature supports external modem only.
RTC Timer to Power-on the System
The RTC installed on the system board allows your system to
automatically power-on on the set date and time.
Wake-On-LAN Ready
The Wake-On-LAN function allows the network to remotely wake
up a Soft Power Down (Soft-Off) PC.Your LAN card must support
the remote wakeup function.
Important:
The 5VSB power source of your power supply must support
≥
720mA (minimum).
Wake-On-Keyboard/Wake-On-Mouse
This function allows you to use the keyboard or PS/2 mouse to
power-on the system. Refer to Jumper Settings for Wake-On-
Keyboard/Wake-On-Mouse in chapter 2 and Keyboard/Mouse
Power On in the Integrated Peripherals setup of the Award BIOS
in chapter 3 for more information.
Introduction

Important:
The power button will not function once a keyboard
password has been set in the KB Power On Password
field of the Integrated Peripherals setup. You must type
the correct password to power-on the system.
The 5VSB power source of your power supply must
support
≥
720mA (minimum).
