Asus A7N8X Deluxe - Manual (Page 18)

1.5 Special Features
Serial ATA: Silicon Image supplies the Sil-3112A chipset, supporting the
ultra-compact 7-pin Serial-ATA IDE device support.
Dual LAN/DualNet: Two south bridge integrated 3COM and Nvidia LAN
controllers supply two separate outputs for the network. (optional)
IEEE 1394: Two header support a multiplicity of connections for IEEE 1394
compatible devices. (optional)
Temperature, Fan and Voltage Monitoring: CPU temperature is monitored
by ASUS ASIC through a thermal sensor mounted under the CPU. The
sensor signals the computer 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 current 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; press the power button for more than 4 seconds, and the system
enters the soft-off mode regardless of the BIOS setting.
Dolby ™ Integrated Audio: MCP-T South bridge integrated Audio Processing
Unit (APU) for Dolby ™ Digital Encoding. (optional)
Dual Channel DDR 400: The 128-bit TwinBank DDR Memory architecture
doubles the DDR400 (PC3200) bandwidth. System bottlenecks are
eliminated and traffic improved with peak bandwidths of up to 6.4 GB/s.
