► Smart Power LED

Smart Power LED is a feature built on your motherboard to indicate different states during 
Power-On Self-Test (POST). The LED is located at the front panel, and it displays POST state 
by different long-short blinking intervals. You can always leave this state enabled.

► Smart Boot Menu

When PC starts, it will ask you to press [Del] key to enter setup or press [Esc] key to enter 
smart boot menu. If [Disabled] is selected, then pressing [Esc] has no function. This also 

prevents user without password trying to get into your computer through smart boot menu.

► Current CPU Speed

This item displays the current CPU speed.

► Current FSB Speed

This item displays the current Front Side Bus clock.

► Current CPU Multiplier

This item displays the current CPU Ratio.

► Current DRAM Speed

This item displays the current DRAM Speed.
