The CMI9880 audio CODEC comes with an AC-3 encoder capable of
transforming your computer's digital audio contents into real-time Dolby
Digital stream. This digital stream passes through the S/PDIF out interfaces
to an AC-3 decoder for 7.1-channel playback. See page 5-18 for details.

The motherboard supports the S/PDIF technology through the S/PDIF
interfaces on the rear panel and at midboard. The S/PDIF technology turns
your computer into a high-end entertainment system with digital connectivity
to powerful audio and speaker systems. See pages 2-24 and 2-29 for details.

The motherboard implements the IEEE 1394b standard that allows up to
800 Mbps transfer rates, and increases the computer-to-electronic device
operational distance from 4.5 meters to 100 meters. IEEE 1394b maintains
backward compatibility with IEEE 1394a (400 Mbps), keeping vital
characteristics such as plug-and-play and peer-to-peer connectivity.
See pages 2-23, 2-31, and 5-8 for details.
USB 2.0 technology USB 2.0 technology USB 2.0 technology USB 2.0 technology 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 2-24 and 2-30 for details.

Temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring Temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring Temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring
The CPU temperature is monitored by the ASIC (integrated in the Winbond
Super I/O) 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 4-36 for details.
