II. FEATURES

Features of the ASUS TX97 Motherboard

TheASUS TX97 is carefully designed for the demanding PC user who wants many

intelligent features in a small package. This motherboard:

•Intel Chipset: Features Intel's 430TX PCIset with I/O subsystems.

•Multi-Processor/Multi-SpeedSupport: IntelPentium

75-200MHz(P55C-MMX

™

P54C/P54CS), Cyrix

P166+ (Rev 2.7 & later),AMD-K5

™

(PR75-133MHz).

•Easy Installation: Is equipped with BIOS that supports auto detection of hard

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

expansion cards, and other devices virtually automatic.

•ISA and PCI Expansion Slots: Provides three 16-bit ISA slots, three 32-bit

PCI slots, and one PCI/MediaBus/ISA shared slot which allows the use of either

a standard PCI card, an ASUS MediaBus card, or an ISA card.

•ASUS MediaBus: Features an expansion slot extension shared with PCI Slot 4

for an optional high-performance expansion card which includes two functions

in one easy-to-install card.

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

one parallel port with EPP and ECP capabilities. UART2 can also be directed

from COM2 to the Infrared Module for wireless connections. Two floppy drives

of either 5.25" or 3.5" (1.44MB or 2.88MB) are also supported without an exter-

nal card. Supports Japanese standard "Floppy 3 mode" (3.5" 1.2MB).

• 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.) (See section V)

•PCI Bus Master IDE Controller: Comes with an onboard Ultra DMA/33

Bus Master IDE controller with two connectors that supports four IDE devices

in two channels up to 33MB/sec IDE transfers and supports Enhanced IDE de-

vices. This controller supports PIO Modes 3 and 4 and Bus Master IDE DMA

Mode 2. BIOS now supports IDE CD-ROM or SCSI bootup.

•Level 2 Cache: 512KB Pipelined Burst SRAM onboard.

•Versatile Memory Support: Is equipped with three DIMM sockets to support

(8, 16, 32, 64, or 128MB) 168-pin SDRAM memory modules up to 256MB.

•OptionalPS/2Mouse,USB,IrDAConnector: Supportsanoptionalcableandbracket

set to mount the connectors to an unused expansion slot on the system chassis. A

second IrDA connector is available for a standard individual infrared cable set.

•ATX Power Supply: Supports an ATX power supply and the soft-off function

using an optional ATX to AT power adapter.

•SCSI BIOS: Has firmware to support optional ASUS SCSI controller cards.

II. FEATURES

(TX97 Series)

Introduction to ASUS TX97 Series of motherboards

Performance:

• SDRAM Optimized Performance - ASUS TX97 series of motherboards sup-

port 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.

• Double the IDE Transfer Speed - ASUS TX97 series of motherboards with

Intel 430TX PCIset improves IDE transfer rate using Bus Master UltraDMA/33

IDE which can handle data transfer up to 33MB/s. The best of all is that this

new technology is compatible with existing ATA-2 IDE specs so there is no

need to upgrade current hard drives or cables.

•ConcurrentPCI -Concurrent PCI allows multiple PCItransfersfromPCImaster

busses to memory to CPU.

• ACPI Ready - ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) is also

implemented on all ASUS 430TX series of motherboards. ACPI provide more

Energy Saving Features for the future operating systems (OS) supporting OS

Direct Power Management (OSPM) functionality. With these features imple-

mented in the OS, PCs can be ready around the clock everyday, yet satisfy all

the energy saving standards. To fully utilize the benefits of ACPI, an ACPI-

supported OS such as in the next release of Windows 95 must be used.

• PC ’97 Compliant - Both the BIOS and hardware levels ofASUS TX97 series

of motherboards meet PC ’97 compliancy. The new PC 97 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 pro-

cedures for both Windows 95 and Windows NT.

Intelligence:

• Fan Status Monitoring and Alarm - To prevent system overheat and system

damage, the CPU fan and system fans are monitored for RPM and failure. Each

fan can be set for its normal RPM range and alarm thresholds.

•Temperature Monitoring andAlert - To prevent system overheat and system

damage, there is a heat sensor under the CPU and on the motherboard itself to

monitor CPU and system temperature to make sure the system is operating at a

safe heat level to avoid any failures triggered by extremely high temperature.

II. FEATURES

(TX97 Series)

II. FEATURES

•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.

• Virus Write Protection - Normally, viruses can destroy data on storage media

such as hard drivers, floppy diskettes, and MO. Some new-generation viruses

will not only destroy data on storage media, but also clear BIOS data which is

usually unprotected. ASUS TX97 series of motherboards were designed to co-

operate with BIOS, chipset, and flash EPROM to disable write permission when

the system’s initialization stage is completed upon boot-up.

• CPU Slow Down - When CPU fans or system fans are malfunctioning, the

system will deactivate the CPU Clock line to decrease CPU utilization to the

speed upon detection of system overheat. This will prevent CPU damage from

system overheat. The CPU utilization will restore normal operations when tem-

perature falls below a safe level.

• 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 (requiresATX power supply) -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 (requiresATX powersupply) - This allows a computer to be

turned on remotely through a modem. With this benefit on-hand, any user can

access vital information from their computer from anywhere in the world!

• Message LED - Chassis LEDs now act as information providers. Through the

way a particular LED illuminates, the user can determine the stage the computer

is in. A simple glimpse provides useful information to the user.
