Power Supply Connector
The system board is equipped with an AT power supply connector
for connecting an AT power supply.
1.1.2 Technology
SDRAM
Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) is a
DRAM technology that uses the clock on the chip to synchronize
with the CPU clock so that the timing of the memory chips and
the timing of the CPU are synchronized. This saves time during
transmission of data, subsequently increasing system performance.
Ultra DMA/33 Bus Master IDE
The system board supports Synchronous Ultra DMA mode that
provides data transfer rate at 33MB/sec, which is double the data
transfer rate of Enhanced IDE or ATA-2. This enables the CPU to
operate more efficiently when handling simultaneous events.
1.1.3 Intelligence
RTC Timer to Power On the System
The RTC installed on the system board allows your system to
automatically wake up on the set day and time. Set the day and
time you would like your system to power on in the “Resume By
Alarm” field (Power Management Setup) of the Award BIOS.
