IrDA Interface
The system board is equipped with an IrDA connector for wireless connectivity
between your computer and peripheral devices. It supports peripheral devices
that meet the IrDA or ASKIR standard.
USB Ports
The system board is equipped with two USB ports. USB allows data exchange
between your computer and a wide range of simultaneously accessible external

Supports SCSI sequential boot-up
Flash EPROM for easy BIOS upgrades (4Mbit)
Includes NCR 810 SCSI BIOS
Supports DMI 2.0 function
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.

The system board is capable of monitoring the following system health
conditions.
Monitors processor/system temperature and overheat alarm
One optional temperature sensor for user customization
Monitors 5VSB/VBAT/1.5V/3.3V/5V/±12V/processor voltages and failure
alarm
Monitors the fan speed of the processor fan, chassis fan and second chassis
fan; controls the fan speed of the processor and chassis fans; and failure
alarm
Automatic fan on/off control
Read back capability that displays temperature, voltage and fan speed
Opened chassis alarm
Suppor ts Intel
®
processor thermal diode output (real processor
temperature)
If you want a warning message to pop-up or a warning alarm to sound when an
abnormal condition occurs, you must install the Hardware Doctor utility. This
utility is included in the CD that came with the system board. Refer to the
Hardware Doctor Utility section in chapter 4 for more information.
