1.1 Welcome!  
The ASUS® NR-LSR motherboard delivers a host of new features and  
latest technologies making it another standout in the long line of ASUS  
quality server motherboards!  
The NR-LSR supports the Intel® Pentium® 4 processor in 478-pin package  
coupled with the ServerWorks® Grand Champion Low End (GCLE)  
SystemSet to deliver a reliable and high performance server platform.  
The NR-LSR is pre-installed in the ASUS AP160R-S 1U barebone  
server system.  
The figure below shows the top view of the NR-LSR motherboard installed  
in the 1U system.

1.2 Special features  
1.2.1 Product highlights  
Latest processor technology  
The NR-LSR motherboard supports the Intel® Pentium® 4 processor via a  
478-pin surface mount ZIF socket. The processor features the Intel®  
NetBurstmicro-architecture that includes hyper-pipelined technology, a  
rapid execution engine, a 400MHz system bus, and an execution trace cache  
to offer a significant increase in performance. See page 2-4 for more  
information.  
DDR memory support  
Employing the Double Data Rate (DDR) memory technology, the NR-LSR  
motherboard supports up to 8GB of system memory using PC2100/1600  
registered ECC DDR DIMMs. The ultra-fast 200MHz memory bus doubles  
the speed of the PC100 SDRAM to deliver the required bandwidth for the  
latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. See page 2-10.  
Dual-channel Ultra-160/320 SCSI  
The LSI® 53C1010R 64-bit/66MHz PCI SCSI controller is onboard to  
support dual-channel Ultra-160 SCSI connectors that provide high-speed  
data transfer interfaces.  
Advanced 64-bit PCI-X slots  
The 64-bit/133MHz expansion slot onboard supports a proprietary riser  
card with two PCI-X slots (on both sides). The PCI-X slots maximize I/O  
bandwidth for the next generation 64-bit PCI-X cards that support  
133/100MHz bus. The PCI-X specification 1.0a allows full peer-to-peer  
transactions between PCI buses and provides options for intelligent I/O  
and server management cards.  
Onboard LAN  
The motherboard comes with the Intel® 82550PM Fast Ethernet controller  
and the Intel® 82544GC Gigabit Ethernet controller to support the latest  
LAN technologies.

Onboard VGA  
The ATI Rage-XL PCI-based VGA controller integrates an 8MB display  
SDRAM to provide onboard video solution.  
Integrated IDE bridge  
The motherboard includes two connectors to support an IDE board with  
dual-channel bus master IDE connectors. The IDE connectors support  
Ultra DMA 100/66/33, PIO modes 3 & 4 devices.

1.2.2 Value-added solutions  
Temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring  
The CPU temperature is monitored by the ASUS ASIC to prevent  
overheating and damage. The system fan rotations per minute (RPM) is  
monitored for timely failure detection. The system voltage levels are  
monitored to ensure stable supply of current for critical components.  
Dual function power switch  
While the system is ON, pressing the power switch for less than 4 seconds  
puts the system to sleep mode or to soft-off mode, depending on the BIOS  
setting. Pressing the power switch for more than 4 seconds lets the  
system enter the soft-off mode regardless of the BIOS setting.  
Remote Ring In  
This feature allows the system to wake up remotely through an internal or  
external modem, if present.  
Wake-Up support  
The motherboard includes Wake-On-LAN, Wake-On-Ring, and BIOS  
Wake-Up features.  
Server management  
The motherboard comes with an ASMC connector that supports the  
optional ASMC-HE/ME/LE card to comply with server reliability, availability,  
and serviceability requirements. Remote management response via  
remote diagnostics and troubleshooting still works even when the  
operating system has stopped functioning.  
ACPI ready  
The Advanced Configuration power Interface (ACPI) provides more energy  
saving features for operating systems that support OS Direct Power  
Management (OSPM).  
Concurrent PCI  
This feature allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI master buses to the  
memory and processor.  
1-4  
Chapter 1: Product introduction  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Auto fan off  
The system fans power off automatically when the system is in sleep  
mode. This feature reduces both power consumption and system noise.  
Chassis intrusion detection  
The motherboard supports chassis intrusion monitoring through the ASUS  
ASIC. A chassis intrusion event is retained in the system memory for more  
protection.  
Smart BIOS  
The 4Mbit firmware gives an easy-to-use interface that provides more  
control and protection to the motherboard. The BIOS has a boot block  
write protection and HD/SCSI/MO/ZIP/CD/Floppy boot selection, and is  
Year 2000 certified.  
Compliance  
Both the BIOS and the hardware levels of the motherboard meet the  
stringent requirements for SDG 2.0 certification. The new SDG 2.0  
requirements for systems and components are based on the following  
high-level goals: support for Plug-and-Play compatibility and power  
management for configuring and managing all system components, 32-bit  
device drivers, and installation procedures for Windows NT/2000/XP.  
Color-coded connectors and descriptive icons make identification easy as  
required by the PC 99 specification.
