sis panel open events into LDCM (available in near future for this motherboard).

EEPROM), offering enhanced ACPI for Windows 98 compatibility, built-in firm-
ware-based virus protection, and autodetection of most devices for virtually au-
tomatic setup.
• Smart BIOS! 4Mbit firmware gives a new easy-to-use interface which provides
more control and protection over the motherboard. Provides Vcore and CPU/
SDRAM frequency adjustments, boot block write protection, and HD/SCSI/MO/
ZIP/CD/Floppy boot selection. Hardware random number generator supports new
security software for data protection and secured Internet transactions.
• Wired for Management (WfM) V2.0! Supports remote monitor, diagnosis,
and management (Alert-On-LAN) in network configuration.
2.1.2 Optional Components
The following onboard components are optional at the time of purchase:
• PCI Audio! Provides Crystal CS4280 PCI audio chipset with 3D surround and
positioning capability. Includes complete online help to guide you through the
audio software.
• Space Savings! Digital Flat Panel (DFP) Interface gives a direct digital connec-
tion for connecting a digital flat panel (analog flat panel must be connected to
the VGA-out connector) to your PC. This interface transmits sharp, bright im-
ages by eliminating digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital conversions, which
can accumulate noise and degrade image quality.
• No Messy Wires! Integrated Consumer IR and Serial IR supports an optional
remote control package for wireless interfacing with external peripherals, per-
sonal gadgets, or an optional remote controller.
