Hardware management support

The mainboard supports a power management function that conforms to the power saving standards of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Energy Star program. It also offers Plug-and-Play feature which helps save users from configuration problems, thus making the system more user-friendly.

Additional features include hardware support for ASM Pro (Advanced System Manager Pro) and RDM (Remote Diagnostic Management). ASM detects problems in the CPU thermal condition, CPU working voltage detection (±12V/±5V/3.3V/1.5V), and PCI bus utilization calculation. It also detects if the CPU fan or the chassis fan malfunctions. Meanwhile, RDM allows execution of the RDM diagnostic program from a remote RDM station to fix detected problems or to reboot the system.
