FCC & DOC COMPLIANCE

FederalCommunications Commission Statement

This device complies with FCC Rules Part 15. Operation is subject to the following

two conditions:

• This device may not cause harmful interference, and

• This device must accept any interference received, including interference that

may cause undesired operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B

digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to

provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installa-

tion. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if

not installed and used in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions, may cause

harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that

interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause

harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by

turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interfer-

ence by one or more of the following measures:

• Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

WARNING! Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor’s

heatsink by regularly checking that your CPU fan is working. Without sufficient

circulation, the processor could overheat and damage both the processor and the

motherboard. You may install an auxiliary fan, if necessary.

CanadianDepartment of Communications Statement

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions

from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian

Department of Communications.

II. FEATURES

The ASUS MEL-B Motherboard

The ASUS MEL-B motherboard is carefully designed for the demanding PC user

who wants many intelligent features in a small package.

Specifications

•IntelProcessorSupport:SupportsIntelCeleronprocessors(300MHzandfaster)

designed for Socket 370 and packaged in a Plastic Pin Grid Array (PPGA).

•Intel AGPset: Features Intel’s 440LX AGPset with a 66MHz Front Side Bus

and I/O subsystems.

•Enhanced ACPI & Anti-Boot Virus BIOS: Programmable BIOS (Flash

EEPROM),offeringenhancedACPI forWindows 98 compatibility, built-infirm-

ware-based virus protection, and autodetection of most devices for virtually au-

tomatic setup.

•Versatile Memory: Equipped with three DIMM sockets to support Intel PC66-

compliant SDRAMs (8, 16, 32, 64, 128, or 256MB) up to 768MB.

•AGP Slot: Supports an Accelerated Graphics Port card for high performance,

component level interconnect targeted at 3D graphical display applications sup-

porting a 1X or 2X mode bus.

•PCI & ISA Expansion: Provides three 32-bit PCI and two 16-bit ISA expan-

sion slots.

•PC Health Monitoring: Provides an easier way to examine and manage system

status information such as CPU and system voltages, temperatures, and fan sta-

tus through the onboard hardwareASIC and bundled LDCM orASUS PC Probe.

•Wake-On-LAN Header: Supports Wake-On-LAN activity through an optional

ASUS PCI-L101 Fast Ethernet card or a similar ethernet card.

•SB-Link™: Features Creative’s SB-Link™, allowing SB16 compatibility, us-

ing Intel’s PC-PCI and serialized IRQ protocols, toAWE64D or compatible PCI

audio cards.

• Super Multi-I/O: Provides two high-speed UART compatible serial ports and

one parallel port with EPP and ECP capabilities.

• Desktop ManagementInterface (DMI): Supports DMI through BIOS, which

allows hardware to communicate within a standard protocol creating a higher

level of compatibility. (Requires DMI-enabled components.)

•UltraDMA/33BM IDE:Comes with an onboard PCI Bus Master IDE controller

with two connectors that support four IDE devices in two channels, supports Ultra

DMA/33, PIO Modes 3 and 4 and Bus Master IDE DMA Mode 2, and supports

Enhanced IDE devices, such as Tape Backup, CD-ROM, and LS-120 drives.

•Easy Installation: Equipped with BIOS that supports autodetection of hard

drives, PS/2 mouse, and Plug and Play devices to make setup of hard drives,

expansion cards, and other devices virtually automatic.

•IrDA: Supports an optional infrared port module for wireless interface.

•Quick Adjustments: Easy-to-access DIP switches make changing CPU and

onboard feature settings a snap.

II. FEATURES

Features

Performance

• ACPIReady:ACPI(Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) isalsoimple-

mented on all ASUS smart series motherboards. ACPI provides more Energy

Saving Features for future operating systems (OS) supporting OS Direct Power

Management (OSPM) functionality. With these features implemented in the OS,

PCs can be ready around the clock, yet satisfy all the energy saving standards.

To fully utilize the benefits ofACPI, anACPI-supported OS such as the succes-

sor of Windows 95 must be used.

• Double the IDE Transfer Speed: IDE transfers using UltraDMA/33 Bus Mas-

ter IDE can handle rates up to 33MB/sec. The best of all is that this new technol-

ogy is compatible with existingATA-2 IDE specifications so there is no need to

upgrade current hard drives or cables.

•Concurrent PCI: Concurrent PCI allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI mas-

ter buses to memory to CPU.

• PC’98Compliant: BoththeBIOSand hardware levels of the motherboard meets

PC’98 compliancy. The new PC’98 requirements for systems and components are

based on the following high-level goals: Support for Plug and Play compatibility

and power management for configuring and managing all system components,

and 32-bit device drivers and installation procedures for Windows 95/98/NT.

• SDRAM Optimized Performance: ASUS smart series motherboards support

the new generation memory, Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory

(SDRAM), which increases the data transfer rate from 264MB/s max using EDO

memory to 528MB/s max using SDRAM.

II. FEATURES

Intelligence (some features require the optional Hardware/Thermal Monitor)

• 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 the fans are set for its normal RPM range and alarm thresholds.

•Temperature Monitoring and Alert: To prevent system overheat and system

damage, there are heat sensors to monitor the CPU and system temperatures to

warn of damaging temperatures.

•Voltage Monitoring and Alert: System voltage levels are monitored to ensure

stable current to critical motherboard components. Voltage specifications are

more critical for future processors, so monitoring is necessary to ensure proper

system configuration and management.

• SystemResourcesAlert:Today’s operating systems such as Windows 95, Win-

dows NT, and OS/2, require much more memory and hard drive space to present

enormous user interfaces and run large applications. The system resource moni-

tor will warn the user before the system resources are used up to prevent pos-

sible application crashes. Suggestions will give the user information on manag-

ing their limited resources more efficiently.

• 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 a important feature to implement silent PC systems.

• Dual Function Power Button: The system can be in one of two states, one is

Sleep mode and the other is the Soft-Off mode. Pushing the power button for

less than 4 seconds places the system into Sleep mode. When the power button

is pressed for more than 4 seconds, it enters the Soft-Off mode.

• 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, any

usercanaccessvitalinformationfromtheircomputerfrom anywhere in the world!

• Message LED (requires ACPI OS support): Chassis LEDs now act as infor-

mation providers. Through the way a particular LED illuminates, the user can

determine the stage the computer is in.A simple glimpse provides useful infor-

mation to the user.

• Keyboard Power Up: Keyboard Power Up can be enabled or disabled to allow

the computer to be powered on by pressing the space bar on the keyboard.

•Chassis Intrusion Detection: Supports chassis-intrusion monitoring through

LDCM and the optional ASUS CIDB chassis sensor module.
