WOM by Internal Modem Card
Online Manual
With the help of the ATX soft power On/Off, it is possible to have a system totally power off, and wakeup to automatically answer a phone call as an answering machine or to send/receive a fax. You may identify whether or not your system is in true power off mode by checking to see if the fan of your power supply is off. Both an external box modem and an internal modem card can be used to support Modem Wake Up, but if you use an external modem, you have to leave your box modem on.

WOL (Wake on LAN)
Online Manual
To use Wake On LAN function, you must have a network card with chipset that supports this feature, and connect a cable from LAN card to motherboard WOL connector. The system identification information (probably IP address) is stored on network card and because there is a lot of traffic on the Ethernet, you need to install network management software, such as ADM, for the checking of how to wake up the system. Note that, at least 600mA ATX standby current is required to support the LAN card for this function.

Support 10/100 Mbps LAN onboard
Online Manual
The South Bridge SIS962 includes a fast Ethernet controller on chip. On the strength of Realtek 8100BL LAN controller on board, which is a highly-integrated Platform LAN Connect device, it provides 10/100M bps Ethernet for office and home use, the Ethernet RJ45 connector is located on top of USB connectors. The green LED indicates the link mode, it lights when linking to network and blinking when transferring data. The orange LED indicates the transfer mode, and it lights when data is transferring in 100Mbps mode. To enable or disable this function, you may simply adjust it through BIOS.

CNR (Communication and Network Riser) Expansion Slot
CNR is a riser card specification to replace the AMR (Audio/Modem Riser) that supports V. 90 analog modem, multi-channel audio, and phone-line based networking. Owing to CPU computing power getting stronger, the digital processing job can be implemented in main chipset and share CPU power. The analogy conversion (CODEC) circuit requires a different and separate circuit design, which is put on CNR card. This motherboard implements sound CODEC on board, but reserve CNR slot for the option of modem function. Note that you can still use PCI modem card.

Support 2nd and 3rd USB 2. 0 Ports
Online Manual
This motherboard provides six USB ports to connect USB devices such as mouse, keyboard, modem, printer, etc. You can use proper cables to connect USB devices from back panel or connect USB2 and USB3 headers to the front panel of chassis.
Compared to traditional USB 1. 0/1. 1 with the speed of 12Mbps, USB 2. 0 has a fancy speed up to 480 Mbps which is 40 times faster than the traditional one. Except for the speed increase, USB 2. 0 supports old USB 1. 0/1. 1 software and peripherals, offering impressive and even better compatibility to customers. On this motherboard, all six ports support USB 2. 0 function.

USB (Universal Serial Bus)
Online Manual
USB is a 4-pin serial peripheral bus that is capable of cascading low/medium speed peripherals (less than 10Mbit/s) such as keyboard, mouse, joystick, scanner, printer and modem. With USB, the traditional complex cables from back panel of your PC can be eliminated.
VCM (Virtual Channel Memory)
NEC's Virtual Channel Memory (VCM) is a new DRAM core architecture that dramatically improves the memory system's ability to service multimedia requirements. VCM increases memory bus efficiency and performance of any DRAM technology by providing a set of fast static registers between the memory core and I/O pins. Using VCM technology results in reduced data access latency and reduced power consumption.
