RJ-45 LAN Connector LEDs

Two LEDs are built into the RJ-45 LAN connector. Table 3 describes the LED states when the
board is powered up and the LAN subsystem is operating.

Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Support

NOTE

Computer systems that have an unshielded cable attached to a USB port might not meet FCC
Class B requirements, even if no device or a low-speed USB device is attached to the cable. Use a
shielded cable that meets the requirements for a full-speed USB device.

This Intel desktop board supports up to six USB 2.0 ports via ICH4; four ports routed to the back
panel and two routed to a USB front panel header. USB 2.0 ports are backward compatible with
USB 1.1 devices. USB 1.1 devices will function normally at USB 1.1 speeds.

USB 2.0 support requires both an operating system and drivers that fully support USB 2.0 transfer
rates. Disabling Hi-Speed USB in BIOS reverts all USB 2.0 ports to USB 1.1 operation. This may
be required to accommodate operating systems that do not support USB 2.0.

NOTE

USB devices are limited to USB 1.1 transfer rates prior to operating system and driver
initialization.

Enhanced IDE Interface

The ICH4’s IDE interface handles the exchange of information between the processor and
peripheral devices like hard disks, CD-ROM drives, and Iomega Zip

drives inside the computer.

The interface supports:

Up to four IDE devices (such as hard drives)

ATAPI devices (such as CD-ROM drives)

Older PIO Mode devices

Ultra DMA-33 and ATA-66/100 protocols

Laser servo (LS-120) drives
