USB Support

The Desktop Board supports USB 2.0. There are 14 USB 2.0 ports (six ports routed to
back panel connectors and eight ports routed to four onboard headers). The USB 2.0
ports are high-speed, full-speed, and low-speed capable. USB 2.0 support requires
both an operating system and drivers that fully support USB 2.0 transfer rates.

SATA Support

The board provides six SATA channels, through the PCH, which support one device per
channel:
• Two internal SATA 6.0 Gb/s connectors (blue)
• Two internal SATA 3.0 Gb/s connectors (black)
• Two onboard eSATA 3.0 Gb/s connectors (red) for connection to an eSATA adapter

SATA RAID

The Intel Q67 PCH supports Intel
enables the following RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Drives) levels:
• RAID 0 - data striping
• RAID 1 - data mirroring
• RAID 0+1 (or RAID 10) - data striping and mirroring
• RAID 5 - distributed parity
NOTE
In order to use supported RAID features, you must first enable RAID in the BIOS. Also,
during Microsoft Windows XP installation, you must press F6 to install the RAID
drivers. See your Microsoft Windows XP documentation for more information about
installing drivers during installation. Both Microsoft Windows Vista and Microsoft
Windows 7 include the necessary RAID drivers for both AHCI and RAID without the
need to install separate RAID drivers using the F6 switch in the operating system
installation process.
