TURES
• Voltage Monitoring and Alert - System voltage levels are monitored to ensure
stable current to critical motherboard components. Voltage specifications are
more critical for future processors, so monitoring is necessary to ensure proper
system configuration and management.
• System Resources Alert - Today’s operating systems such as Windows 95, Win-
dows NT, and OS/2, require much more memory and hard drive space to present
enormous user interfaces and run large applications. The system resource moni-
tor will warn the user before the system resources are used up to prevent pos-
sible application crashes. Suggestions will give the user information on manag-
ing their limited resources more efficiently.
• Auto Fan Off - The system fans will power off automatically even in sleep
mode. This function reduces both energy consumption and system noise, and
is a important feature to implement silent PC systems.
• Dual Function Power Button (requires ATX power supply) - The system can
be in one of two states, one is Sleep mode and the other is the Soft-Off mode.
Pushing the power button for less than 4 seconds places the system into Sleep
mode. When the power button is pressed for more than 4 seconds, it enters the
Soft-Off mode.
• Remote Ring On (requires ATX power supply and external modem) - This
allows a computer to be turned on remotely through an external modem. With
this benefit on-hand, any user can access vital information from their computer
from anywhere in the world!
• Message LED - Chassis LEDs now act as information providers. Through the
way a particular LED illuminates, the user can determine the stage the computer
is in. A simple glimpse provides useful information to the user.
