Safety information

Electrical safety

To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from the

electrical outlet before relocating the system.

When adding or removing devices to or from the system, ensure that the

power cables for the devices are unplugged before the signal cables are

connected. Disconnect all power cables from the existing system before

you add a device.

Before connecting or removing signal cables from the motherboard, ensure

that all power cables are unplugged.

Seek professional assistance before using an adpater or extension cord.

These devices could interrupt the grounding circuit.

Make sure that your power supply is set to the voltage available in your

area.

If the power supply is broken, contact a qualified service technician or your

retailer.

Operational safety

Before installing the motherboard and adding new devices, carefully read

all the manuals that came with the package.

Before use ensure all cables are correctly connected and the power cables

are not damaged. If you detect any damage, contact the dealer immediately.

To avoid short circuits, keep paper clips, screws, and staples away from

connectors, slots, sockets and circuitry.

Avoid dust, humidity, and temperature extremes. Do not place the product

in any area where it may become wet.

Mount the motherboard inside a standard PC enclosure.

If you encounter technical problems with the product, contact a qualified

service technician or the dealer.

Chapter 1: Product introduction

1.3 Special Features

Easy Overclocking

Quickly adjust CPU frequency multiples with BIOS in JumperFree

Mode

Adjustable FSB/MEM/PCI frequency ratio

Stepless Frequency Selection (SFS) for fine-tuning system bus frequency

from at 1MHz increments

Alternatively, easy-to-use DIP switches permit manual adjustment of the

processor external/internal frequency settings.

®

ASUS C.O.P. (CPU Overheating Protection): With AMD

Athlon XP

installed, the motherboard offers automatic CPU Overheating Protection

to prolong the life of the entire system. If the CPU temperature exceeds

the set criteria, the PC shuts down automatically.

Temperature, Fan and Voltage Monitoring: CPU temperature is monitored

by the ASIC through the CPUs internal thermal diode to prevent

overheating and damage. The CPU and system fans can be monitored

for RPM and failure. System voltage levels are monitored to ensure

stable voltage to critical motherboard components.

ACPI Ready: Advanced Configuration Power Interface (ACPI) provides more

Energy Saving Features for operating systems that support OS Direct

Power Management (OSPM).

Concurrent PCI: Concurrent PCI allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI

master busses to the memory and processor.

Auto Fan Off: The system fans powers off automatically even in sleep mode.

Dual Function Power Button: Push the power button for less than 4 seconds

when the system is operating places the system into sleep or soft-off

modes, depending on the BIOS or OS setting. If the power button is

pressed for more than 4 seconds, the system enters the soft-off mode

regardless of the BIOS setting.
