• 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.
• Dual Function Power Button: Pushing the power button for less than 4 seconds
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 and system fans can be monitored for RPM and failure. All
fans are set for its normal RPM range and alarm thresholds.
• Power LED (requires ACPI OS support): The power LED indicates the system
status.
• 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 anywhere.
• 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
enormous user interfaces and run large applications. The system resource monitor
warns the user before the system resources are used up to prevent possible
application crashes. Suggestions provide the user some information on managing
their limited resources more efficiently.
• Temperature Monitoring and Alert: CPU temperature is monitored by the
ASUS ASIC through the CPU’s internal thermal diode (on Pentium III and
Celeron) to prevent system overheat and system damage.
• 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.
• 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.
