Intelligence
• Auto Fan Off: The system fans powers 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. Note: the user must change
the default setting in BIOS to take advantage of this feature.
• Enhanced ACPI and Anti-Boot Virus Protection: Programmable BIOS (Flash
EEPROM) that offers enhanced ACPI for Windows 98/2000/ME compatibility,
built-in firmware-based virus protection, and autodetection of most devices for
a virtual automatic setup.
• Chassis Intrusion Detection: Supports chassis-intrusion monitoring through
the ASUS ASIC. A chassis intrusion event is kept in memory on battery power
for more protection.
• Easy Connectivity and System Information Access: Supports an optional
ASUS iPanel, an easy-to-access box with system diagnostic display area, sys-
tem status LEDs, USB ports, and hot keys. The AFPANEL connector on the
motherboard accommodates the ASUS iPanel.
• PC Health Monitoring: Provides an easy way to test and manage system status
information, such as CPU and system voltages, temperatures, and fan status
through the onboard hardware ASUS ASIC and the bundled ASUS PC Probe.
• 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.
