Chapter 1 - Introduction

Introduction

Expansion Slots

The system board is equipped with 1 AGP slot and 5 PCI slots.

AGP is an interface designed to support high performance 3D

graphics cards. It utilizes a dedicated pipeline to access system

memory for texturing, z-buffering and alpha blending.The AGP slot

supports AGP 8x with up to 2132MB/sec. bandwidth and AGP 4x

with up to 1066MB/sec. bandwidth for 3D graphics applications.

AGP in this system board will deliver faster and better graphics to

your PC.

Introduction

PCI Bus Master IDE Controller

• Two PCI IDE interfaces support up to four IDE devices

• Supports ATA/33, ATA/66, ATA/100 and ATA/133 hard drives

• UDMA Modes 3, 4, 5 and 6 Enhanced IDE (data transfer rate

up to 133MB/sec.)

• Bus mastering reduces CPU utilization during disk transfer

• Supports ATAPI CD-ROM, LS-120 and ZIP

Serial ATA IDE Interface

• Uses Marvell 88i8030 chip

• Supports one SATA (Serial ATA) interface which is compliant

with SATA 1.0 specification (1.5Gbps interface)

Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant with SATA 1.0

specification. With speed of up to 1.5Gbps, it improves hard drive

performance even in data intensive environments such as audio/

video, consumer electronics and entry-level servers.

IEEE 1394a Interface

• Uses VIA VT6306 chip

• Supports three 100/200/400 Mb/sec ports

The VIA VT6306 controller is a complete single chip IEEE 1394a

solution. It is fully compliant with the 1394a OHCI (Open Host

Controller Interface) 1.1 specification. 1394a is a fast external bus

standard that supports data transfer rates of up to 400Mbps. In

addition to its high speed, it also supports isochronous data transfer

which is ideal for video devices that need to transfer high levels of

data in real-time. 1394a supports both Plug-and-Play and hot

plugging allowing devices to be attached or removed from the

system, even with the power on.

S/PDIF

The system board is equipped with the S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital

Interface) digital audio interface. S/PDIF is a standard audio file trans-

fer format that transfers digital audio signals to a device without

having to be converted first to an analog format.This prevents the

quality of the audio signal from degrading whenever it is converted

to analog.

Introduction

IrDA Interface

The system board is equipped with an IrDA connector for wire-

less connectivity between your computer and peripheral devices.

USB Ports

The system board supports USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports. USB 1.1

supports 12Mb/second bandwidth while USB 2.0 supports 480Mb/

second bandwidth providing a marked improvement in device

transfer speeds between your computer and a wide range of

simultaneously accessible external Plug and Play peripherals..

BIOS

• Award BIOS, Windows®95/98/2000/ME/XP Plug and Play

compatible

• Genie BIOS provides:

- CPU/DRAM overclocking in 1MHz stepping

- CPU/AGP/DRAM/Chipset overvoltage

• Supports SCSI sequential boot-up

• Flash EPROM for easy BIOS upgrades

• Supports DMI 2.0 function

• 4Mbit flash memory

Desktop Management Interface (DMI)

The system board comes with a DMI 2.0 built into the BIOS.The

DMI utility in the BIOS automatically records various information

about your system configuration and stores these information in the

DMI pool, which is a part of the system board's Plug and Play

BIOS. DMI, along with the appropriately networked software, is

designed to make inventory, maintenance and troubleshooting of

computer systems easier. Refer to chapter 4 for instructions on using

the DMI utility.

Rear Panel I/O Ports (PC 99 color-coded connectors)

• Four USB 2.0/1.1 ports

• Two RJ45 LAN port
