Serial ATA technology Serial ATA technology Serial ATA technology Serial ATA technology Serial ATA technology
The motherboard supports the next-generation Serial ATA technology
through the Serial ATA interfaces and the NVIDIA
® nForce™ 4 chipset. Serial
ATA allows thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin count, and reduced
voltage requirement. See pages 1-23.

The NVIDIA ® nForce™ 4 RAID controller onboard provides the motherboard
with RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 1+0 and JBOD configuration for four SATA and
two PATA connectors. See page 3-21 for details.
PCI Express™ interface PCI Express™ interface PCI Express™ interface PCI Express™ interface PCI Express™ interface
The motherboard fully supports PCI Express, the latest I/O interconnect
technology that speeds up the PCI bus. PCI Express features point-to-point
serial interconnections between devices and allows higher clockspeeds by
carrying data in packets. This high speed interface is software compatible with
existing PCI specifications. See page 1-18 for details.

The motherboard supports the S/PDIF Out function through the S/PDIF
interfaces on the rear panel. The S/PDIF technology turns your computer into
a high-end entertainment system with digital connectivity to powerful audio
and speaker systems. See page 1-21 for details.
USB 2.0 technology USB 2.0 technology USB 2.0 technology USB 2.0 technology USB 2.0 technology
The motherboard implements the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0
specification, dramatically increasing the connection speed from the
12 Mbps bandwidth on USB 1.1 to a fast 480 Mbps on USB 2.0. USB 2.0 is
backward compatible with USB 1.1. See page 1-21 and 1-25 for details.
