AI NET2
The AI NET2 is a BIOS-based diagnostic tool that detects and reports
Ethernet cable faults and shorts. With this utility, you can easily monitor
the condition of the Ethernet cable(s) connected to the LAN (RJ-45)
port(s). During the bootup process, AI NET2 immediately diagnoses the
LAN cable(s) and reports shorts and faults up to 100 meters at 1 meter
accuracy.

The ASUS Hyper Path 2 technology optimizes the full potential of the Intel
®
chipset by shortening the latency time between the CPU and the system
memory. Enabling Hyper Path 2 on systems with the Intel
®
PAT improves
memory performance without affecting system stability. See page 2-25 for
details.

USB 2.0 technology
The motherboard implements the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0
specification, dramatically increasing the connection speed from the
12 Mbps bandwidth on USB 1.1 to a fast 480 Mbps on USB 2.0. USB 2.0 is
backward compatible with USB 1.1. See pages 1-25 and 1-30 for details.

Temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring
The CPU temperature is monitored by the ASIC (integrated in the Winbond
Super I/O) to prevent overheating and damage. The system fan rotations
per minute (RPM) is monitored for timely failure detection. The ASIC
monitors the voltage levels to ensure stable supply of current for critical
components. See page 2-32 for details.
