Ultra320 SCSI feature
The Adaptec
AIC-7901X PCI-X SCSI controller is onboard to support one
®
68-pin Ultra320 SCSI connector, that can connect up to 15 SCSI devices.
See page 2-27 and Chapter 5 for details.
Zero-Channel RAID (ZCR) card solution
The motherboard comes with a PCI-X slot (the green slot on the model)
that supports an optional Zero-Channel RAID card. The Zero-Channel RAID
card allows you to create all types of RAID configurations for your storage
devices. The ZCR capability provides a cost-effective, high-performance,
and added reliability for your server system.
Gigabit LAN solution
The motherboard comes with dual Gigabit LAN controllers and ports to
provide a total solution for your networking needs. The onboard Broadcom
®
BCM5721 Gigabit LAN controllers use the PCI Express interface and could
achieve network throughput close to Gigabit bandwidth. See page 2-23 for
details.
Serial ATA II technology
The motherboard supports the Serial ATA II technology through the Serial
ATA interfaces controlled by the Intel
ICH7R. The SATA specification
®
allows for thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin count, reduced
voltage requirement, and up to 300 MB/s data transfer rate.
Built-in SATA RAID solution
The Intel
ICH7R allows RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, and RAID 5 configuration
®
for SATA hard disk drives via the Intel
Matrix Storage Manager (under
®
Windows Operating System) or the LSI Logic Embedded SATA RAID Setup
Utility (no RAID 5). See page 2-25 and Chapter 5 for details.
USB 2.0 technology
The motherboard implements the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0
specification, dramatically increasing the connection speed from the
12 Mbps 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 2-23 and 2-26 for details.
