Power-On By Modem:
While in Soft-Off state, if an external modem ring-up signal occurs, the system
wakes up and can be remotely accessed. You may enable this function in BIOS's
Power Management Setup menu. (See section
3
).
Blinking LED in Suspend Mode:
While in Suspend mode, the LED light on the front panel of your computer will
flash. Suspend mode is entered by pressing the Override Power Button, pushing the
Green button on your ATX case, or enabling the Power Management and Suspend
Mode options in BIOS's Power Management menu. (See section
3
).
Poly-fuse Over Current Protection:
The poly-fuse protects the system from dangerous voltages that the system might be
exposed to via the keyboard or USB connector. In case of such exposure, the
poly-fuse will immediately be disconnected from the circuit, just like a normal fuse.
After being disconnected for a certain period of time, the poly-fuse will return to its
normal state. Then the keyboard or USB connector can function properly again.
Unlike conventional fuses, the poly-fuse does not have to be replaced, relieving the
user wasted time and inconvenience.

FAN1 / FAN3 (CPU/Case Cooling Fan Connectors [12V]):
The board's management extension hardware is able to detect the CPU fan speed in
rpm (revolutions per minute). The wiring and plug may vary depending on the
manufacturer. On standard fans, the red is positive (
+12V
), the black is ground, and
the yellow wire is the rotation signal.
