3.2.2.2 Intel
®
Embedded Server RAID Technology Option ROM
The Intel
®
Embedded Server RAID Technology for SATA Option ROM provides a pre-OS user
interface for the Intel
®
Embedded Server RAID Technology implementation and provides the
ability for an Intel
®
Embedded Server RAID Technology volume to be used as a boot disk as
well as to detect any faults in the Intel
®
Embedded Server RAID Technology volume(s) attached
to the Intel
®
RAID controller.
3.2.3 Parallel ATA (PATA) Support
The integrated IDE controller of the ESB2-E ICH6 provides one IDE channel. It redefines
signals on the IDE cable to allow both host and target throttling of data and transfer rates of up
to 100 MB/s. For this server board, the IDE channel was designed to provide optical drive
support to the platform. The BIOS initializes and supports ATAPI devices such as LS-120/240,
CD-ROM, CD-RW and DVD-ROM. The IDE channel is accessed through a single standard 40-
pin IDE connector (J2J2) that provides the I/O signals. The ATA channel can be configured and
enabled or disabled by accessing the BIOS Setup utility during POST.
3.2.4 USB 2.0 Support
The USB controller functionality integrated into ESB2-E provides the server board with the
interface for up to eight USB 2.0 ports. Four external connectors are located on the back edge
of the server board. One internal 2x5 header (J3J1) is provided, capable of supporting two
optional USB 2.0 ports. One USB port Type A connector (J3G1) is provided to support
installation of a USB device inside the server chassis. An additional USB port is dedicated to the
Intel
®
Remote Management Module (Intel
®
RMM) connector.
3.3 Video Support
The server board provides an ATI* ES1000 PCI graphics accelerator, along with 16 MB of video
DDR SDRAM and support circuitry for an embedded SVGA video sub-system. The ATI ES1000
chip contains an SVGA video controller, clock generator, 2D engine, and RAMDAC in a 359-pin
BGA. One 4M x 16 x 4-bank DDR SDRAM chip provides 16 MB of video memory.
