List of features

Special features

Your mainboard is available in different configuration levels. Depending on the configuration, your mainboard is equipped with or supports the features described in the following.

Silent Fan LT

A controller regulates the processor fan in the PC and thus prevents unnecessary noise pollution. The controller operates independently of the operating system and the processor.

Silent Drives

Hard disks and optical drives (CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD etc.) are besides the fans some of the greatest sources of noise in a PC. The BIOS-Setupcan be used to switch these drives into a quieter mode.

Recovery BIOS

If an error occurs during a BIOS update (e. g. due to a power failure), the system BIOS will be destroyed. All Fujitsu Siemens Computers mainboards are equipped with a recovery BIOS. With it a destroyed BIOS can easily be restored. Exact instructions are provided in the chapter "BIOS Recovery - Recovering System BIOS".

DeskUpdate

DeskUpdate enables simple, automatic driver installation. The function is available both on the CD "Drivers & Utilities" and on the Internet.

Multi Boot

The BIOS of the Fujitsu Siemens Computers mainboards enables booting from all types mass storage devices. In addition to IDE hard disks, this also includes optical drives, such as CD-ROM, DVD and external drives that can be connected to USB or FireWire.

USB Security

USB Security is a BIOS function that offers protection against unauthorised access regardless of the operating system used. If USB Security is activated, the system can only be started, if the MemoryBird of Fujitsu Siemens Computers is connected to one of the existing USB-ports.
