Intel® High Definition Audio is not supported on the development board.
3.4.2.5ATA/ Storage
The development board has one parallel ATA IDE connector and three serial ATA connectors.
The parallel ATA IDE Connector is a standard
There are three SATA connectors on the development board – one ‘Direct Connect’ connector and two ‘Cable Connect’ connectors. The ‘Direct Connect’ connector, located at J8J1, provides both signaling and power while the ‘Cable Connect’ connectors, located at J7H1 and J7J3, only provides signals (the user typically uses an ATX power supply for the drive power). A green LED at location CR6J1 indicates activity on the ATA channel.
The development board also supports ‘ATA swap’ capability for both the parallel IDE channel and the serial ATA channels. A device can be powered down by software and the port can then be disabled, allowing removal and insertion of a new device. The parallel IDE device should be powered from the power connector, J4J2, on the development board to utilize the hot swap feature. This feature requires customer- developed software support.
Note: Desktop hard drives must be powered using the external ATX power supply, not the onboard power supply.
The Mobile Intel® GME965 Express Chipset includes Intel® Matrix Storage Technology, providing greater performance and reliability through features such as Native Command Queuing (NCQ) and RAID 0/1. For more information about Intel® Matrix Storage Technology, refer to Intel’s website at:
