•
Auto Fan Off: The system fans will power off automatically even in sleep
mode. This function reduces both energy consumption and system noise, and is
an important feature in implementing silent PC systems.
•
Dual Function Power Button: Pushing the power button for less than 4
seconds when the system is in the working state places the system into one of
two states: sleep mode or soft-off mode, depending on the BIOS or OS setting
(see PWR Button < 4 Secs in 4.5 Power Menu). When the power button is
pressed for more than 4 seconds, the system enters the soft-off mode regardless
of the BIOS setting.
•
Fan Status Monitoring and Alarm: To prevent system overheat and system
damage, the CPU, power supply, and system fans can be monitored for RPM
and failure. All fans are set for its normal RPM range and alarm thresholds.
•
Remote Ring On (requires modem): This allows a computer to be turned on
remotely through an internal or external modem. With this benefit on-hand, users
can access vital information from their computers from anywhere in the world!
•
System Resources Alert: Today’s operating systems such as Windows 95/98/
NT and OS/2, require much more memory and hard drive space to present
enormous user interfaces and run large applications. The system resource
monitor will warn the user before the system resources are used up to prevent
possible application crashes. Suggestions will give the user information on
managing their limited resources more efficiently.
•
Temperature Monitoring and Alert: CPU temperature is monitored by the
ASUS ASIC to prevent system overheat and system damage.
•
Voltage Monitoring and Alert: System voltage levels are monitored to ensure
stable voltage to critical motherboard components. Voltage specifications are
more critical for future processors, so monitoring is necessary to ensure proper
system configuration and management.
