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 CommunicationsStatement

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.

2.1 The ASUS MES-VM Motherboard

TheASUS MES-VM motherboard is carefully designed for the demanding PC user

who wants many intelligent features in a small package.

2.1.1 Specifications

•IntelProcessorSupport:Supports Intel’sCeleronprocessordesignedforSocket

370 and packaged in Plastic Pin Grid Array (PPGA).

•SiSAGPset: SiS’620 AGPset with a built-in 6326 AGP 2X graphics controller

supports a 100MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) and UltraDMA/66, which allows burst

mode data transfer rates of up to 66.6MBps.

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

EEPROM),offeringenhancedACPIforWindows98compatibility,built-infirm-

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

tomatic setup.

•Versatile Memory: Equipped with two DIMM sockets to support Intel PC100-

compliant SDRAMs (8, 16, 32, 64, 128, or 256MB) up to 512MB.

•Built-in Graphics: Built-inAGP 2X graphics controller can use shared system

memory or optional dedicated onboard VGA memory (8MB SDRAM).

•OnboardAudio andAC’97 CODEC (optional): Features a 32-bit Crystal PCI

audio onboard. Features an 18-bit stereo, full duplex, audio codec that conforms

to AC’97 analog component specfications. Includes a complete online help to

guide you through the audio software.

•PCI & ISA Expansion: Provides three 32-bit PCI expansion slots and one 16-

bit ISA expansion slot .

•Wake-On-LAN Connector: Supports Wake-On-LAN activity through an op-

tionalASUS PCI-L101 Fast Ethernetcard (see APPENDIX) 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 Management Interface (DMI): Supports DMI through BIOS, which

allows hardware to communicate within a standard protocol creating a higher

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

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

2.1.2 Performance

•UltraDMA/66 & UltraDMA/33: Comes with an onboard PCI Bus Master IDE

controller with two connectors that support four IDE devices in two channels.

Supports UltraDMA/66, UltraDMA/33, PIO Modes 3 & 4 and Bus Master IDE

DMA Mode 2, and supports Enhanced IDE devices, such as Tape Backup, CD-

ROM, CD-R/RW, and LS-120 drives.

• 66/100MHzAsynchronous&100/100MHz SynchronousHost/DRAMClock

Support: CPU frequency can operate at 66MHz or 100MHz while system

memory operates at 100MHz or 66MHz. This can optimize the VGA perfor-

mance under shared memory configuration.

• DoubleorQuadrupletheIDETransferSpeed:IDE transfers usingUltraDMA/

33 Bus Master IDE can handle rates up to 33MB/s and up to 66MB/s using SiS’

UltraDMA/66 technology. The best of all is that these new technology is com-

patible with existing ATA-2 IDE specifications so there is no need to upgrade

current IDE devices or cables.

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

ter buses to memory to CPU.

• SDRAM Optimized Performance: ASUS smart series motherboards support

the new generation memory, Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory

(SDRAM), which increases the data transfer rate to 800MB/s max using PC100

SDRAM.

• ACPIReady:ACPI (Advanced ConfigurationandPowerInterface) is alsoimple-

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.

• PC’98Compliant: Both the BIOS and hardware levels of themotherboardmeets

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.

2.1.3 Intelligence

• 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, this motherboard supports Socket 370 processor thermal sensing.

•Voltage Monitoring andAlert: 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

an 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

usercanaccess vital information fromtheircomputerfromanywhere in theworld!

• 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 using your keyboard.
