Microsoft PC98/PC99 Hardware Design Guide compliant

ACPI DPM (Device Power Management) supported

Some of the Super I/O features are described in more detail below:

2.7.3.1 Super I/O LPC Interface

The LPC interface on the Super I/O complies with the Intel

®

Low Pin Count Specification

Rev. 1.01. The LPC interface supports both LDRQ# and SERIRQ protocols as well as PCI

PME# interfaces.

2.7.3.2 Super I/O Infrared

The onboard Super I/O supports the following infrared specifications:

IrDA version 1.0 SIR protocol with a maximum baud rate up to 115.2Kbps

The IR controller on the super I/O is interfaced through an IR pin-header on a baseboard.

2.7.3.3 Super I/O Hardware Monitor Functions

The Super I/O Hardware Monitor monitors internal voltages, system temperature and the

cooling fan speed. All the monitored environmental parameters can be read from the BIOS

Hardware Health Configuration menu.

2.7.3.4 Super I/O Parallel Port

The Super I/O parallel port (LPT) is compatible with the following LPT specifications.

IBM parallel port compatible

PS/2 compatible bi-directional parallel port
