RAID 0 (called data striping) optimizes two identical hard disk drives to
read and write data in parallel, interleaved stacks. Two hard disks perform
the same work as a single drive but at a sustained data transfer rate,
double that of a single disk alone, thus improving data access and
storage. RAID 1 (called
data mirroring) copies and maintains an identical
image of data from one drive to a second drive. If one drive fails, the disk
array management software directs all applications to the surviving drive
as it contains a complete copy of the data in the other drive. This RAID
configuration provides data protection and increases fault tolerance to the
entire system.
Onboard IEEE-1394 (on 1394 models only)
The NEC 1394 controller PD72874GC and two IEEE 1394 interfaces are
onboard to support 400Mbps data transfers through the bundled 1394
module. See page 2-35.
Onboard LAN (on LAN models only)
The Intel 82562ET LAN PHY onboard works with the integrated MAC in
the South Bridge (ICH4) to fully support 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet
networking.
ASUS EZ Plug™
This patented ASUS technology lets you use your existing power supply
rather than buying a new ATX 12V power supply. The ASUS EZ Plug™ is
a 4-pin auxiliary +12V connector mounted on the motherboard that
connects a regular 4-pin device power connector from the power supply.
This connector is necessary to provide the additional power required by
the P4 CPU. See page 2-29.
