VCM/SDRAM Optimized Performance: This motherboard supports a new gen-
eration memory, NEC’s 64Mb Virtual Channel Memory (VCM) Synchronous Dy-
namic Random Access Memory (SDRAM), which is compatible to the industry
standard SDRAM. The VCM’s core design provides up to 50% higher SDRAM
speed at reduced power consumption of about 30%. This motherboard also supports
standard SDRAM, which increases the data transfer rate (1.064GB/s max using
PC133-compliant SDRAMs and 800MB/s max using PC100-compliant SDRAMs).

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
an important feature in implementing silent PC systems.

•
Dual Function Power Button: Pushing the power button for less than 4 sec-
onds when the system is in the working state places the system into one of two
states: sleep mode or soft-off mode, depending on the BIOS or OS setting (see
PWR Button < 4 Secs in 4.5 Power Menu). When the power button is pressed
for more than 4 seconds, the system enters the soft-off mode regardless of the
BIOS setting.

Fan Status Monitoring and Alarm: To prevent system overheat and system
damage, the CPU, power supply, and system fans can be monitored for RPM
and failure. All fans are set for its normal RPM range and alarm thresholds.

Remote Ring On (requires modem): This allows a computer to be turned on
remotely through an internal or external modem. With this benefit on-hand, users
can access vital information from their computers from anywhere in the world!

System Resources Alert: Today’s operating systems such as Windows 95/98/
NT and OS/2, require much more memory and hard drive space to present enor-
mous user interfaces and run large applications. The system resource monitor
will warn the user before the system resources are used up to prevent possible
application crashes. Suggestions will give the user information on managing
their limited resources more efficiently.

Voltage Monitoring and Alert: System voltage levels are monitored to ensure
stable voltage to critical motherboard components. Voltage specifications are
more critical for future processors, so monitoring is necessary to ensure proper
system configuration and management.
