The P6F94 mainboard is OnNow PC, Managed PC and PC98
compliant. It also offers optimized system performance, integrated
power management, Creative SoundBlaster Link, Trend Chipaway
Virus and system manageability (optional).
Optimized System Performance: AGP improves the Graphics
performance dramatically, Ultra DMA/33 speeds up disk drive
access, Enhanced SDRAM support for fastest access to memory,
and Concurrent PCI enables simultaneous data transfer.
Integrated Power Management: ACPI (Advanced Configuration
and Power Interface) support enables O/S and application
programs to direct the system power management.
Creative SoundBlaster (SB-Link): This SB-Link header enables
the migration of Creative Soundblaster DOS program
compatibility to the PCI bus. Some DOS programs require the use
of signals which were previously only available to an ISA bus
card. These signals have now been made available to a PCI bus
card which may require them, through the use of this header.
Trend Chipaway Virus(TCAV): This unique, specially designed
solution stops boot viruses from infecting the boot sector or
partition table during the “threat” period that exists before the boot
sector loads and traditional anti-virus protection takes effect.
Trend ChipAway Virus resides in the BIOS to prevent boot
viruses from causing any damage to computers.
System Manageability: Winbond W83781D Hardware
Environment Monitoring chip (optional) enables the ability for
system voltage, temperature and fan speed monitoring detection.
In addition to superior hardware capabilities, features like bus
mastering EIDE driver, Plug and Play, Soft-off, APM (Advanced
Power Management), Keyboard password turn on, External Modem
Ring On, Wake On LAN (WOL), Watchdog timer wake up,
Sleeping state indicator, fan off in sleeping state (requires Fan with
tachometer output) and BIOS upgradability are provided on the
P6F94 platform.
