ASUS KFN5-D SLI 1-3
Serial ATA II technology
The motherboard supports the Serial ATA II technology through the Serial
ATA interfaces controlled by the NVIDIA ® chipset. 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. See page
2-27 and 2-28 for details.
Dual RAID solution
Onboard RAID controllers provide the motherboard with dual-RAID
functionality that allows you to select the best RAID solution using IDE or
Serial ATA devices.
The NVIDIA
® MCP55 Professional allows RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, RAID 5
and JBOD configuration for six SATA connectors. See pages 2-27 and 5-3
for details.
The Silicon Image Sil3132 controller supports two additional SATA
connectors and allows RAID 0 and RAID 1 configurations. See pages 2-28
and 5-11 for details.
8-channel high definition audio
The motherboard supports 8-channel audio through the onboard ALC880
CODEC with 16-bit DAC, a stereo 16-bit ADC, and an AC97 2.3 compatible
multi-channel audio. It also provides Jack-Sensing function, S/PDIF out
support, interrupt capability and includes the Realtek ® proprietary UAJ ®
(Universal Audio Jack) technology. See pages 2-24 and 6-12 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 2-24 and 2-30 for details.
