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 2-18.
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. See page 5-12.
AI BIOS solution
The AI BIOS is a combination of three ASUS intelligent solutions: Q-Fan,
POST Reporter, and CrashFree BIOS 2.
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

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
