FEATURES
BX3 Features: · BX3 is based on the Pentium® II or Pentium® III Processor operating at 233
~ 333MHz (66MHz) or 350 ~ 500MHz (100MHz) on Slot 1. The board is configured by an Easy-Setting-Dual-Jumper (E. S. D. J. ) to match your CPU clock speed.
· Designed with Intel's 82443 BX AGPset. [. . . ] · Supports ring-in feature (remote power-on through external modem, allows
system to be turned on remotely). · Resume by Alarm - Allows your system to turn on at a preselected time. · Power Loss Recovery - In the event of a power outage your system will automatically turn itself back on without user intervention.
· Supports CPU Hardware sleep and SMM (System Management Mode). · Supports Desktop Management Interface (DMI) facilitating the management
of desktop computers, hardware and software components and peripherals, whether they are stand-alone systems or linked into networks. (optional)
· Supports Hot key, Any key or password Keyboard power ON function (KBPO). · Supports USDM software to offer motherboard various status on Windows® 95/98, or Windows® NT 4. 0/5. 0. · Supports the CPU, PWR and Chassis fan Auto stop in sleep mode. · Supports the System Power LED (PANEL) blinks in the sleep mode. · Built-in SB-LINK Header for Creative Blaster® AWE64D PCI Bus Sound Card.

Note: Based on the implementation of Intel 440BX PCIset, BX3 is able to provide two host bus frequencies -- either 66 or 100MHz for Slot1 processor and memory operating. The default is set at 100MHz once Pentium® II processor to be mounted onto this motherboard. However, no matter what kind of Slot1 processor you installed, it should come with right memory modules for normal and stable operation. For example, if you install a Pentium® III processor, you should use the SDRAM module with 100MHz based(or above) to match the CPU speed. Furthermore, one thing you may need to bear in mind, before the CPU installation, it is anyway our advice to use JP3 and set up right speed of Slot1 processor at any time.

Power On/Off - This is connected to the power button on the case. Using the Soft-Off by Pwr-BTTN feature, you can choose either Instant Off (turns system off immediately), or 4 sec delay (you need to hold the button down for 4 seconds before the system turns off). When the system is in 4 sec delay mode, we has added a special feature to make the system go into suspend mode when the button is pressed momentarily.
