Ultra320 SCSI feature

The Adaptec

®

AIC-7901X PCI-X SCSI controller is onboard to support one

68-pin Ultra320 SCSI connector, that can connect up to 15 SCSI devices.

See page 2-27 and Chapter 5 for details.

Zero-Channel RAID (ZCR) card solution

The motherboard comes with a PCI-X slot (the green slot on the model)

that supports an optional Zero-Channel RAID card. The Zero-Channel RAID

card allows you to create all types of RAID configurations for your storage

devices. The ZCR capability provides a cost-effective, high-performance,

and added reliability for your server system.

Gigabit LAN solution

The motherboard comes with dual Gigabit LAN controllers and ports to

provide a total solution for your networking needs. The onboard Broadcom

®

BCM5721 Gigabit LAN controllers use the PCI Express interface and could

achieve network throughput close to Gigabit bandwidth. See page 2-23 for

details.

Serial ATA II technology

The motherboard supports the Serial ATA II technology through the Serial

ATA interfaces controlled by the Intel

®

ICH7R. The SATA specification

allows for thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin count, reduced

voltage requirement, and up to 300 MB/s data transfer rate.

Built-in SATA RAID solution

The Intel

®

ICH7R allows RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, and RAID 5 configuration

for SATA hard disk drives via the Intel

®

Matrix Storage Manager (under

Windows Operating System) or the LSI Logic Embedded SATA RAID Setup

Utility (no RAID 5). See page 2-25 and Chapter 5 for details.

USB 2.0 technology

The motherboard implements the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0

specification, dramatically increasing the connection speed from the

12 Mbps bandwidth on USB 1.1 to a fast 480 Mbps on USB 2.0. USB 2.0 is

backward compatible with USB 1.1. See pages 2-23 and 2-26 for details.
