Dual IDE Ports
The system board in your system provides two internal IDE
ports:
T
a primary IDE port
T
a secondary IDE port.
Each port supports two devices for a total of four IDE
devices. For system configuration flexibility, your computer
allows the connection of an IDE device without the addition
of a controller.
The primary and secondary IDE ports support the Ultra
DMA/33 standard for 33.3 MB per second, 32-bit wide
data transfers on the high-performance PCI local bus.
USB Port
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) port allows you to add new
serial devices without opening up the system — simply plug
them into the port. The USB determines system resources
for each peripheral and assigns them without user
intervention. One serial device can be connected directly to
the system through the USB port. With a hub and the
proper cables, up to 127 devices can be daisy chained to the
USB port and addressed by the system.
Sound System
The Yamaha sound system installed on the system board in
multimedia models provides compatibility with Sound
Blaster Pro™, Sound Blaster™ 2.0, Ad Lib™, MPU-401,
and Microsoft® Windows Sound System™ for PC sound
applications.
For detailed sound specifications, see the "System
Specifications" in Appendix B.
