The motherboard supports the Serial ATA technology through the Serial ATA interfaces controlled by the Intel® 6300ESB. 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.
The Intel® 6300ESB allows RAID 0 and RAID 1 configuration for two SATA connectors via the LSI Logic Embedded SATA RAID controller. See pages
The motherboard comes with a
The motherboard comes with dual Gigabit LAN controllers and ports to provide a total solution for your networking needs. The onboard Broadcom® BCM5721 and BCM5705E Gigabit LAN controllers use the PCI Express and PCI interfaces, respectively, and have network throughput close to Gigabit bandwidth. See page
The motherboard implements the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 specification, dramatically increasing the connection speed from the
12Mbps bandwidth on USB 1.1 to a fast 480 Mbps on USB 2.0. USB 2.0 is backward compatible with USB 1.1. See pages
The CPU temperature is monitored by the ASIC (integrated in the Winbond hardware monitor) to prevent overheating and damage. The system fan rotations per minute (RPM) is monitored for timely failure detection. The ASIC monitors the voltage levels to ensure stable supply of current for critical components. See page
