System Resource Alert This feature is available when used with Intel s LANDesk Client Manager optional LDCM is used to notify the user of certain system events For example if the system is running low on virtual memory and there is insuf ficient hard drive space for saving the data you can be alerted of the potential problem Chapter 1 Introduction Auto Switching Voltage Regulator for the CPU Core The auto switching voltage regulator for the CPU core can support up to 20A current and auto sense voltage IDs ranging from 1 4V to 3 5V This will allow the regulator to run cooler and thus make the system more stable 1 5 ACPI Features ACPI stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface The ACPI specification defines a flexible and abstract hardware interface that pro vides a standard way to integrate power management features throughout a PC system including its hardware operating system and application soft ware This enables the system to automatically turn on and off peripherals such as CD ROMs network cards hard disk drives and printers This also includes consumer devices connected to the PC such as VCRs TVs tele phones and stereos In addition to enabling operating system directed power management ACPI provides a generic system event mechanism for Plug and Play and an oper ating system independent interface for configuration control ACPI lever ages the Plug and Play BIOS data structures while providi
6. The MCH has four hub interfaces one to communicate with the ICH3 and three for high speed I O communications The MCH employs a 144 bit wide memory bus for a DDR 266 memory interface which provides a total band width of 3 2 GB s The ICH3 interface is a 266 MB sec point to point con nection using an 8 bit wide 66 MHz base clock at a 4x data transfer rate The P64H2 interface is a 1 GB s point to point connection using a 16 bit wide 66 MHz base clock at a 8x data transfer rate The ICH3 UO Controller Hub provides various integrated functions including a two channel UDMA100 bus master IDE controller USB host controllers a System Management Bus controller and an AC 97 compliant interface The P64H2 PCI X Hub provides a 16 bit connection to the MCH for high performance IO capability and two 64 bit PCI X interfaces 1 3 Special Features ATI Graphics Controller The X5DMS 6GM has an integrated ATI video controller based on the Rage XL graphics chip The Rage XL fully supports sideband addressing and AGP texturing This onboard graphics package can provide a bandwidth of up to 512 MB sec over a 32 bit graphics memory bus Recovery from AC Power Loss BIOS provides a setting for you to determine how the system will respond when AC power is lost and then restored to the system You can choose for the system to remain powered off in which case you must hit the power switch to turn it back on or for it to automatically return to a power
