Chapter 1: Product introduction
RAID 0, 1, 0+1 support
The SiS 180 RAID controller supports two Serial ATA150 and UltraDMA133
drives for RAID 0,1, 0+1 configuration. This provides a high-performance
RAID solution for hard disk performance and data back-up protection without
the cost of additional RAID cards. See page 2-23 and 5-17.
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 page 2-27.
IEEE 1394 support
The onboard VIA6307 controller supports two IEEE 1394 ports that
provides high-speed and flexible PC connectivity to a wide range of
peripherals and devices compliant to IEEE 1394 standards. The IEEE
1394 allows up to 400Mbps transfer rates through simple, low-cost,
high-bandwidth asynchronous (real-time) data interfacing between
computers, peripherals, and consumer electronic devices such as
camcorders, VCRs, printers,TVs, and digital cameras. See page 2-25.
1.3.2 ASUS unique features
Ai BIOS
The Ai Bios is a combination of three ASUS intelligent solutions:
CrachFree BIOS2, Q-Fan and Post Reporter.
CrashFree BIOS2
This feature allows you to restore the original BIOS data from the support
CD, or from a bootable floppy disk, when the BIOS codes and data are
corrupted. This protection eliminates the need to buy a replacement ROM
chip. See page 4-4.
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 4-28.
