The motherboard supports the Serial ATA technology through the Serial ATA
interfaces and the Intel
®
ICH6R. The SATA specification allows for thinner,
more flexible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage requirement, and
up to 150 MB/s data transfer rate. See pages 2-26 and 2-27 for details.

Onboard RAID controllers provide the motherboard with multi-RAID
functionality that allows you to select the best RAID solution using IDE or
Serial ATA hard disk drives.
The Intel
®
ICH6R allows RAID 0 and RAID 1 configuration for four SATA
connectors and supports the Intel
®
Matrix Storage Technology. See pages
2-26 and 5-17 for details.
If you are using IDE hard disk drives, the ITE8212 controller provides
RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, and JBOD functionality for two IDE channels
that supports for up to four IDE hard disk drives. See pages 2-26 and 5-23

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 2-20 for details.

Onboard is the C-Media CMI9880 7.1-channel audio CODEC. This CODEC is
fully-compliant with Intel
®
High Definition Audio standard (192 KHz, 24-bit
audio). With the CODEC, 8-channel audio ports, and S/PDIF interfaces, you
can connect your computer to home theater decoders to produce
crystal-clear digital audio.
The CMI9880 CODEC comes with a software application that features jack
detection to monitor the plugging status of each jack, impedance sensing
to determine audio device classes, and pre-defined equalization for various
audio devices. See pages 2-23 to 2-24, and page 5-11 for details.
