Features of the ASUS Motherboard
The ASUS P/I-XP6NP5 is carefully designed for the demanding PC user who wants
a great many features in a small package. This motherboard:
• Easy Installation: Is equipped with BIOS that supports auto detection of hard
drives, PS/2 mouse, and Plug and Play devices to make setup of hard drives,
expansion cards, and other devices virtually automatic.
• Multi-Speed Support: Supports one 150-200MHz Pentium Pro CPU on a
ZIF Socket 8.
• Intel Chipset: Features Intel's 440FX PCIset with I/O subsystems.
• Error Checking and Correcting (ECC): Using Intel's 440FX PCIset to-
gether with parity DRAM modules can detect multi-bit memory
errors and correct 1-bit memory errors.
• Desktop Management Interface (DMI): Supports DMI through BIOS which
allows hardware to communicate within a standard protocol creating a higher
level of compatibility. (Requires DMI-enabled components.) (See section V)
• Internal L2 Cache Support: Supports Intel CPU's built-in 256KB/512KB
(depending on CPU) Level 2 cache so that no external SRAM chips are needed.
• ATX Power Connector: Has a single easy-to-install connector for 3.3V, 5V,
12V, and a new soft-power control.
• Versatile DRAM Memory Support: Supports four 72-pin SIMMs of 4MB,
8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB to form a memory size between 8MB to 256MB.
Supports both Fast Page Mode (FPM), Extended Data Output (EDO), and Burst
Extended Data Output (BEDO) SIMM’s.
• ISA and PCI Expansion Slots: Provides three 16-bit ISA slots, three 32-bit
PCI slots, and one PCI/MediaBus 2.0 which allows the use of either a standard
PCI card or the ASUS MediaBus Card.
• ASUS MediaBus Rev 2.0: Features an expansion slot extension shared with
PCI Slot 4 for an optional high-performance expansion card which includes
two functions in one easy-to-install card.
• Super Multi-I/O: Provides two high-speed UART compatible serial ports
and one parallel port with EPP and ECP capabilities. UART2 can also be
directed from COM2 to the Infrared Module for wireless connections. Two
floppy drives of either 5.25" or 3.5" (1.44MB or 2.88MB) are also supported
without an external card. The Japanese "Floppy 3 mode" (3.5" 1.2MB)
floppy standard is also supported.
• Ready-to-Use Connectors: Is equipped with onboard Parallel (Printer) Port,
Serial Ports (COM1&2), PS/2 Mouse, and PS/2 Keyboard connectors without
the need for extra cables and brackets.
