Chapter 1: Product introduction

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 2-23 and 2-28 for details.

Gigabit LAN solution

The motherboard comes with a PCI Express Gigabit LAN controller to

provide a total solution for your networking needs. The Gigabit LAN

controller uses the PCI Express segment to provide faster data bandwidth.

See pages 2-22, and 5-11 for details.

Temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring

The CPU temperature is monitored by the ASIC (integrated in the Winbond

Super I/O) to prevent overheating and damage. The system fan rotations

per minute (RPM) is monitored for timely failure detection. The ASIC

monitors the voltage levels to ensure stable supply of current for critical

components. See page 4-37 for details.
