Introduction
Compatibility
• PCI 2.2 and AC '97 compliant
• Intel AGP version 3.0
ICH5R SATA IDE/RAID Interface
Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant with SATA 1.0
specification. With speed of up to 1.5Gbps, it improves hard drive
performance even in data intensive environments such as audio/
video, consumer electronics and entry-level servers.
• Two SATA (Serial ATA) interfaces which are compliant with
SATA 1.0 specification (1.5Gbps interface)
• Supports RAID 0 and 1
ATA RAID - Redundant Array of Independent Disk
• Uses HighPoint 372N RAID controller
• RAID 0, 1, 0+1 and 1.5
-
• Two independent IDE channels support up to 4 drives (ATA/
33, ATA/66, ATA/100, ATA/133 or EIDE)
• Suppor ts PIO modes 0/1/2/3/4, DMA modes 0/1/2 and
UDMA modes 0/1/2/3/4/5/6
PCI Bus Master IDE Controller
• Two PCI IDE interfaces support up to four IDE devices
• Supports ATA/33, ATA/66 and ATA/100 hard drives
• PIO Mode 4 Enhanced IDE (data transfer rate up to 14MB/
sec.)
• Bus mastering reduces CPU utilization during disk transfer
• Supports ATAPI CD-ROM, LS-120 and ZIP
IrDA Interface
The system board is equipped with an IrDA connector for wire-
less connectivity between your computer and peripheral devices.
The IRDA (Infrared Data Association) specification supports data
transfers of 115K baud at a distance of 1 meter.
