S/PDIF is a standard audio file transfer format that
transfers digital audio signals to a device without
having to be converted first to an analog format. This prevents the
quality of the audio signal from degrading whenever it is converted
to analog. S/PDIF is usually found on digital audio equipment such as
a DAT machine or audio processing device. The S/PDIF connector on
the system board sends surround sound and 3D audio signal out-
puts to amplifiers and speakers and to digital recording devices like
CD recorders.
Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant
with SATA 1.0 specification. With speed of up to
3Gb/s, it improves hard drive performance faster than the standard
parallel ATA whose data transfer rate is 100MB/s. G7B630-NR
allows configuring RAID on Serial ATA drives. It supports RAID 0,
RAID 1, RAID 5 and RAID 10.
The JMicron JMB368 chip suppor ts up to two
UltraDMA 133Mbps IDE devices.
The Intel 82566DM and Marvell 88E8056 PCI
Express Gigabit Ethernet controllers support up
to 1Gbps data transmission.
The system board is equipped with an IrDA connec-
tor for wireless connectivity between your computer
and peripheral devices. The IRDA (Infrared Data Association) specifi-
cation supports data transfers up to 115Kbps baud rate speed.
