Introduction

Expansion Slots

The system board is equipped with 1 dedicated AGP slot. AGP is an

interface designed to support high performance 3D graphics cards. It

utilizes a dedicated pipeline to access system memory for texturing,

z-buffering and alpha blending; delivering up to 533MB/sec.

bandwidth for 3D graphics applications. AGP in this system board

will deliver faster and better graphics with your PC.

The system board is also equipped with 4 dedicated PCI slots, 2

dedicated 16-bit ISA slots. All PCI and ISA slots are bus masters.

Onboard Audio Features

• Sound Blaster, Sound Blaster Pro and WSS compatible

• Supports PC games and applications

• Sample rates from 4KHz up to 48KHz

• Full duplex operation for simultaneous record and playback

• ESS proprietary AudioRack application

Desktop Management Interface (DMI)

The system board comes with a DMI 2.0 built into the BIOS. The

DMI utility in the BIOS automatically records various information

about your system configuration and stores these information in the

DMI pool, which is a part of the system board's Plug and Play

BIOS. DMI, along with the appropriately networked software, is

designed to make inventory, maintenance and troubleshooting of

computer systems easier. Refer to Chapter 4 for instructions on

using the DMI utility.

ATX double deck ports

• 2 USB ports

• 2 DB-9 serial ports

• 1 DB-25 parallel port

• 1 mini-DIN-6 PS/2 keyboard port

• 1 mini-DIN-6 PS/2 mouse port

• 1 game/MIDI port

• 3 audio jacks: line-out, line-in and mic-in
