If the CPU temperature becomes excessive, the PC shuts down automatically. • Smart BIOS: 2Mb firmware enables Vcore and CPU/DDR SDRAM frequency adjustments, boot block write protection, and HD/SCSI/MO/ZIP/CD/Floppy boot selection. ASUS A7V266-C User’s Manual 8 2. FEATURES 2.1.2 Connections • CPU socket: Socket A (462) for AMD® processors. • PCI Expansion Slots: Provides five 32-bit Legacy Free PCI slots, (PCI 2.2 compliant) eliminating bottlenecks and system memory management issues. All PCI slots can support Bus Master PCI cards, such as SCSI or LAN cards. (PCI supports up to 133MB/s maximum throughput.) The MB supports Concurrent PCI, which allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI master bus to the memory and processor. • IDE connectors: Dual-channel bus master IDE connectors support up to four Ultra DMA133/100/66, PIO Modes 3 & 4 IDE devices like two HDDs, one DVD and an R/W CD. • AGP 4X Slot: Comes with an Accelerated Graphics Port 4X slot that supports AGP cards for high performance, component level interconnect targeted at 3D graphical applications using a 4X mode bus. • Floppy disk connector: Supports the floppy disk drive. • USB ports: Two Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports are available for connecting USB devices such as a mouse and PDA. • Serial ports: Four 9-pin COM1/COM2 ports are for all serial devices. • IrDA: Supports an optional infrared port module for a wireless interface. • Microphone: (Optional) Pink jack connects a microphone (or 6 channel speaker). • Line In: (Optional) Light blue jack connects a tape player (or 6 channel speaker). • Line Out: (Optional) Lime jack connects a headphone, a speaker (or 6 channel speaker). • Game/MIDI connector. (Optional) This connector supports a joystick or a game pad for playing games, and MIDI devices for playing or editing audio files. • Parallel port: 25-pin port connects a parallel printer or other devices. • PS/2 mouse port: Green 6-pin connector is for a PS/2 mouse. • PS/2 keyboard port: Purple 6-pin connector is for a PS/2 keyboard. • Onboard LED: Signals AC power is okay. • ATX power connector. Supplies the MB with ATX 12V power. The power supply must have at least 1A on the +5V standby lead (+5VSB). 2. FEATURESSpecifications ASUS A7V266-C User’s Manual 9 2. FEATURES Performance2. FEATURES 2.1.3 Performance • DDR DRAM Optimized Performance: This motherboard supports a new generation memory, Double Data Rate (DDR) Dynamic Random Access Memory (DDR DRAM). This new memory technology increases performance by executing two actions per clock cycle, resulting in data transfer rates of up to 2.1 GB/s for 133MHz DDR SDRAM and 1.6GB/s for 100MHz DDR SDRAM. • Onboard Audio: (Optional) Audio models come with the six-channel C-Media CMI8738 PCI audio controller that supplies HRTF 3D positional audio functions. The chip supports software access to PC DVD 5.1/6.1 and AC-3/DTS via SPDIF. Other integrative featues include: full DVD playback, PCtel 56K modem, and even Karaoke echo effects. The chip offers 24-bit SPDIF digital recording and playback with additional support for legacy audio SBPRO™ and FM emulator/ DLS wavetable music synthesis. A software package helps setup the multichannel PC sound system. • ACPI Ready: Advanced Configuration Power Interface (ACPI) provides more Energy Saving Features for operating systems that support OS Direct Power Management (OSPM) functionality. With these features employed in the OS, PCs can be ready around the clock but comply with energy saving standards. To fully utilize the ACPI benefits, use an ACPI-supported OS such as Windows 98. • PC’99 Compliant: Both the BIOS and hardware levels of ASUS smart series motherboards are PC’99 compliant. The new PC’99 requirements for systems and components are based on the following high-level goals: Support for Plug- n-Play compatibility and power management for configuring and managing all system components, and 32-bit device drivers and installation procedures for Windows95/98/NT . Color-coded connectors and descriptive icons make identification easy as required by PC’99. • High-Speed Data Transfer Interface: Support for UltraDMA/133 through the onboard IDE bus master controller quadruples the UltraDMA/33 burst transfer rate. UltraDMA/133 is backward compatible with DMA100/66/33, and other existing DMA devices to save the need to upgrade current EIDE/IDE drives. (UltraDMA133/100/66 requires a 40-pin 80-conductor cable). • Concurrent PCI: Concurrent PCI allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI master busses to the memory and processor. ASUS A7V266-C User’s Manual 10 2. FEATURES 2.1.4 Intelligence • Auto Fan Off: The system fans powers 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, depe...
