1.3.2 Unique ASUS features
ASUS Wi-Fi slot
The ASUS Wi-Fi slot is designed for the ASUS WiFi-b™ add-on card to set up an
environment for wireless LAN. The ASUS WiFi-b™ add-on card bundles the
exclusive software Access Point (AP) to save the extra cost of a stand-alone AP. In
addition, the card comes with user-friendly utilities and applications that allow quick
connection to notebooks, PDAs and other wireless LAN peripherals. See page
1-16.
AI NET solution
The Marvell ® Gigabit LAN controller chipset is onboard to provide a single-chip
solution for LAN on Motherboard (LOM) applications. The controller integrates 32-
bit 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet Media Access Control (IEEE 802.3
compliant) and Physical Layer Transceiver solution to support high performance
network applications. The controller is equipped with the Virtual Cable Tester™
(VCT) net-diagnosing utility that intelligently diagnoses and reports cable faults
from a remote location up to 100 meters. This feature helps maintain a more stable
network connection.
ASUS Q-Fan technology
The ASUS Q-Fan technology smartly adjusts the fan speeds according to the
system loading to ensure quiet, cool, and efficient operation. See page 2-26.
CrashFree BIOS 2
This feature allows you to restore the original BIOS data from the ASUS support
CD in case when the BIOS codes and data are corrupted. This protection
eliminates the need to buy a replacement ROM chip. See page 2-6.
ASUS MyLogo™
This feature present in the motherboard allows you to personalize and add style to
your system with customizable boot logos. See pages 2-28.
C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall)
The C.P.R. feature of the motherboard BIOS allows automatic re-setting to the
BIOS default settings in case the system hangs due to overclocking. When the
system hangs due to overclocking, C.P.R. eliminates the need to open the system
chassis and clear the RTC data. Simply reboot the system and the BIOS shows
the previous setting so users can amend the CPU setting again.
C.O.P. (CPU Overheating Protection)
With AMD ® Athlon XP ™ installed, the motherboard offers automatic CPU
Overheating Protection to prolong the life of the entire system. If the CPU
temperature exceeds the set criteria, the PC shuts down automatically.
