Intel
I210AT LAN Solution
The motherboard comes with two Gigabit LAN controllers and ports which provide a total
®
solution for your networking needs. The onboard Intel
I210AT Gigabit LAN controllers use
the PCI Express interface and could achieve network throughput close to Gigabit bandwidth.
Serial ATA III technology
The motherboard supports the Serial ATA III 6 Gb/s technology through the Serial ATA
®
interface and Intel
C246 chipset. Get enhanced scalability, faster data retrieval, double the
bandwidth of current bus systems with up to 6 Gb/s data transfer rates.
Integrated USB 3.1 Gen2 (10Gbps) Support
The motherboard implements the USB 3.1 connectivity built in for the very fastest USB data
transfers - that's up to 10Gb/s, or twice as fast as USB 3.0. The next-generation standard is
completely backward-compatible with your existing USB devices, and you'll be all set for USB
3.1's breakneck speeds.
Temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring
The CPU temperature is monitored to prevent overheating and damage. The system fan
rotations per minute (RPM) is monitored for timely failure detection. The chip monitors the
voltage levels to ensure stable supply of current for critical components.
