PC '97 Compliant –
Both the BIOS and hardware levels of smart series of motherboards meet
PC '97 compliance. The PC 97 requirements for systems and components
are based on the following high-level goals: Support for Plug and Play
compatibility and power management for configuring and managing all
system components, and 32-bit device drivers and installation procedures
for both Windows 95/98 and Windows NT.
Modem Ring On –
This allows a computer to be turned on remotely through an external
modem. With this benefit on-hand, any user can access vital information
from their computer from anywhere in the world.
Wake ON LAN –
This main board implements a LAN-Wake UP connector, to use LAN Wake-
up function, user need a network card that supports this feature. In addition,
user also needs to install network management software, such as LDCM.
The connector will receive a wakeup packet or signal from LAN Card to
power up the system.
Temperature Monitoring and Alert – ( Option )
To prevent system overheat and system damage, there are heat sensors to
monitor the CPU and system temperatures to warn of damaging
temperatures.
Voltage Monitoring and Alert – ( Option )
System voltage levels are monitored to ensure stable current to critical
motherboard components. Voltage specifications are more critical for future
processors, so monitoring is necessary to ensure proper system
configuration and management.
Sometimes, the external MODEM just power ON/OFF, the pulse
will be taken as the Ring in signal, which will make the machine
power up. User needs to pay more attention about this symptom.
