3.3 ASUS Express Gate

the Internet. Within a few seconds of powering on your computer, you will be at the
Express Gate menu where you can start the web browser, Skype, or other Express
Gate softwares.
Installing ASUS Express Gate
• The bootup speed depends on system configurations.
• Due to chipset limitation, ASUS Express Gate supports USB devices or
SATA HDDs (IDE mode) connected to SATA port 1-4 only. Set the SATA
Operation Mode item in the BIOS to [IDE] before installing and using
ASUS Express Gate.
• Currently, ASUS Express Gate DOES NOT support PATA IDE HDDs. Visit
www.asus.com for future BIOS and Express Gate software updates.
• ASUS Express Gate supports installation on USB HDDs and Flash drives,
but the software performance may be slower than installed on SATA HDDs.
