Asus DSEB-DG/SAS - Manual (Page 18)

1- Chapter 1: Product introduction
USB 2.0 technology
The motherboard implements the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 specification,
dramatically increasing the connection speed from the 12 Mbps bandwidth on USB
1.1 to a fast 480 Mbps on USB 2.0. USB 2.0 is backward compatible with USB 1.1.
Temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring
The CPU temperature is monitored by the W83793G chip to prevent overheating
and damage. The system fan rotations per minute (RPM) is monitored for timely
failure detection. The chip monitors the voltage levels to ensure stable supply of
current for critical components.
Intel ® IOAT2
Intel ® I/O Acceleration Technology (IOAT) is an integrated server platform I/O
solution that addresses all segments of the server I/O bottleneck problem using
TCP/IP without requiring any modification of existing or future applications.
Intel ® IOAT is a system-wide solution that increases CPU efficiency and delivers
data to/from applications faster than current server platforms.
High Power Efficiency
Compared with the non-green design platform, ASUS's new green motherboard
design helps improve power efficiency to 90%. The motherboard, with less power
comsumption loss, saves you more watts and more money.
1.4.2 Innovative ASUS features
ASUS Smart Fan technology
The ASUS Smart Fan technology smartly adjusts the fan speeds according to the
system loading to ensure quiet, cool, and efficient operation.
