Optional Components - Asus CUV4X-V User Manual

• SMBus: Features the System Management Bus interface, which is used to physi-
cally transport commands and information between SMBus devices.
• PCI/ISA/AMR Expansion Slots: Provides five 32-bit PCI (Rev. 2.2) expan-
sion slots, which can support Bus Master PCI cards, such as SCSI or LAN cards
(PCI supports up to 133MB/s maximum throughput), one 16-bit ISA expansion
slot, and one Audio Modem Riser (AMR) slot, which supports a very affordable
audio and/or modem riser card. (Only an ISA-side AMR card can be used.)
• 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.
• Enhanced ACPI & Anti-Boot Virus Protection: Programmable BIOS (Flash
EEPROM), offering enhanced ACPI for Windows 98 compatibility, built-in firm-
ware-based virus protection, and autodetection of most devices for virtually au-
tomatic setup.
• IrDA: Supports an optional infrared port module for wireless interface.
• Concurrent PCI: Concurrent PCI allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI mas-
ter busses to the memory and processor.
• Smart BIOS: 2Mb firmware provides Vcore and CPU/SDRAM frequency ad-
justments, boot block write protection, and HD/SCSI/MO/ZIP/CD/Floppy boot
selection. Power supply is autodetected to enable/disable suspend-to-RAM, elimi-
nating the need to make jumper adjustments.
• Integrated Infrared Support: Integrated IR supports an optional remote con-
trol package for wireless interfacing with external peripherals, personal gad-
gets, or an optional remote controller.
• 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.)

2.1.2 Optional Components

The following onboard components are optional at the time of purchase:
• Smart Audio: Provides C-Media Electronics Inc.'s CMI-8738 PCI 3D Exten-
sion Positional Audio Chip. With this chip onboard, no external CODEC is
needed. CMI-8738 supports legacy audio (SB16™), FM emulator/DLS wavetable
music synthesis, and HRTF 3D positional audio functions, and PCtel® HSP56
(1789) interface.Compatible with A3D™ and DirectSound™ 3D, CMI8738 thus
meets PC98® requirements, and supports professional digital audio interface.
• One Touch Management: Supports an optional ASUS iPanel, an easy to access
box with system information LEDs, front I/O ports, and space reserved for a
hard disk drive. With an ASUS iPanel, you can monitor your computer's vital
components.
• LCD/TV Output: The LCD/TV interface can support either an optional LCD
module for LCD output or a TV-out module for TV output.
