3.3.1 Digital Media Interface (DMI)
Digital Media Interface (DMI) is the chip-to-chip connection between the processor and The
®
Intel C600-A Chipset. This high-speed interface integrates advanced priority-based servicing
allowing for concurrent traffic and true isochronous transfer capabilities. Base functionality is
completely software-transparent, permitting current and legacy software to operate normally.
3.3.2 PCI Express* Interface
®
The Intel C600-A Chipset provides up to 8 PCI Express* Root Ports, supporting the PCI
Express* Base Specification, Revision 2.0. Each Root Port x1 lane supports up to 5 Gb/s
bandwidth in each direction (10 Gb/s concurrent). PCI Express* Root Ports 1-4 or Ports 5-8 can
independently be configured to support four x1s, two x2s, one x2 and two x1s, or one x4 port
widths.
3.3.3 Serial ATA (SATA) Controller
®
The Intel C600-A Chipset has two integrated SATA host controllers that support independent
DMA operation on up to six ports and supports data transfer rates of up to 6.0 Gb/s (600 MB/s)
on up to two ports (Port 0 and 1 Only) while all ports support rates up to 3.0 Gb/s (300 MB/s)
and up to 1.5 Gb/s (150 MB/s). The SATA controller contains two modes of operation – a legacy
mode using I/O space, and an AHCI mode using memory space. Software that uses legacy
mode will not have AHCI capabilities.
