SY-6BA+ IV

14

Specifications, Rev 2.1, is independent of the PCI bus and is intended for

exclusive use with graphical display devices. A. G.P. overcomes certain

limitations of the PCI bus related to handling a large amount of graphics

data with the following features:
l Pipelined memory read and write operations that hide memory access

latency

l Demultiplexing of address and data on the bus for near 100 percent

bus efficiency

l AC timing for 133 MHz data transfer rates, allowing real data

throughput in excess of 500 MB/ sec

1-9.4 Universal Serial Bus (USB)

The motherboard has two USB ports; one USB peripheral can be

connected to each port. For more than two USB devices, an external hub

can be connected to either port. The motherboard fully supports the

universal host controller interface (UHCI) and used UHCI- compatible

soft ware drivers.

Specification USB features include:
l Self- identifying peripherals that can be plugged in while the

computer is running

l Automatic mapping of function to driver and configuration
l Support for isochronous and asynchronous transfer types over the

same set of wires

l Support for up to 127 physical devices
l Guaranteed bandwidth and low latencies appropriate for telephony,

audio, and other applications

l Error- handling and fault- recovery mechanisms built into the protocol

Note

Computer systems that have an unshielded cable attached to a USB port

may not meet FCC Class B requirements, even if no device or a low-speed

USB device is attached to the cable. Use shielded cable that meets the

requirements for a full-speed USB device.
