The motherboard supports the Serial ATA 3 Gb/s technology through the
Serial ATA interfaces and the Intel
®
955X MCH 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 Native Command Queuing
(NCQ), Power Management (PM) Implementation Algorithm, and Hot Swap.
Serial ATA allows thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin count and
reduced voltage requirements.
Leveraging these Serial ATA II features is the Serial ATA on the Go. This
external port on the rear panel I/O provides smart setup, hot-plug and
support for up to 16 devices with port-multiplier functions. See pages 2-25
