1.8.2 USB

The board supports up to six USB 2.0 ports, fully supports UHCI and EHCI, and uses UHCI- and
EHCI-compatible drivers. For more than six USB devices, an external hub can be connected to
any of the ports.
The ICH4 provides the USB controller for all ports. The port arrangement is as follows:
•
Two ports are implemented with stacked back panel connectors, adjacent to the PS/2
connectors
•
Two ports are implemented with stacked back panel connectors, adjacent to the audio
connectors
•
Two ports are routed to the front panel USB connector
✏
NOTE
Computer systems that have an unshielded cable attached to a USB port may not meet FCC
Class B requirements, even if no device is attached to the cable. Use shielded cable that meets the
requirements for full-speed devices.

1.8.3 IDE Interfaces

The ICH4's IDE controller has two independent bus-mastering IDE interfaces that can be
independently enabled. The IDE interfaces support the following modes:
•
Programmed I/O (PIO): processor controls data transfer.
•
8237-style DMA: DMA offloads the processor, supporting transfer rates of up to 16 MB/sec.
•
Ultra DMA: DMA protocol on IDE bus supporting host and target throttling and transfer rates
of up to 33 MB/sec.
•
ATA-66: DMA protocol on IDE bus supporting host and target throttling and transfer rates of
up to 66 MB/sec. ATA-66 protocol is similar to Ultra DMA and is device driver compatible.
•
ATA-100: DMA protocol on IDE bus allows host and target throttling. The ICH4's ATA-100
logic can achieve transfer rates up to 100 MB/sec.
