Serial ATA I/II technology and SATA-On-The-Go

The motherboard fully supports the Serial ATA II 3.0 Gb/s technology through the

Serial ATA interfaces and the NVIDIA

®

nForce

®

570 SLI™ chipset. The Serial

ATA 3 Gb/s specification provides twice the bandwidth of the current Serial ATA

products with a host of new features, including Nativa Command Queueing (NCQ),

and Power Management (PM) Implementation Algorithm. Serial ATA allows for

thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin count and reduced voltage required.

Leveraging these Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s features is the SATA-On-The-Go. Supported

by the JMicron Serial ATA RAID controller, two Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s connectors

(one at mid-board and one on the rear panel) provide smart setup, and hot-plug

function. See pages 2-21, 2-22, and 2-23 for details.

IEEE 1394a support

The IEEE 1394a interface provides high-speed and flexible PC connectivity to

a wide range of peripherals and devices compliant to the IEEE 1394a standard.

The IEEE 1394a interface allows up to 400 Mbps transfer rates through simple,

low-cost, high-bandwidth asynchronous (real-time) data interfacing between

computers, peripherals, and consumer electronic devices such as camcorders,

VCRs, printers, TVs, and digital cameras. See pages 2-21 and 2-27 for details.

S/PDIF digital sound ready

The motherboard supports the S/PDIF technology 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 pages 2-21 and 2-32 for details.

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 pages 2-22 and 2-27 for details.

Dual Gigabit LAN solution

The motherboard comes with dual Gigabit LAN controllers to provide the total

solution for your networking needs. These network controllers use the PCI Express

segment to provide faster data bandwidth for your wired or wireless Internet, LAN,

and file sharing requirements. See page 2-21 for details.
