4.2.3 LAN
The ASMB-610 has four Gigabit Ethernet LAN connections via dedicated PCI
Express x4 lanes: GbE LAN1~4 via Intel I350 that offer bandwidth of up to 500 MB/
sec, eliminating the bottleneck of network data flow and incorporating Gigabit Ether -
net at 1000 Mbps. Features include:

10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet controller

10/100/1000 Mbps triple-speed MAC

Full duplex at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps and half duplex at 10 or 100 Mbps

Wake-on-LAN (WOL) support

PCIe x1 host interface
The integrated Intel gigabit Ethernet controller supports all major network operating
systems. However, the installation procedure varies with different operating systems.
4.2.4 Intel ME
The Intel ME software components that need to be installed depend on the system's
specific hardware and firmware features. The installer detects the system's capabili-
ties and installs the relevant drivers and applications.
4.2.5 SATA RAID
To support demanding disk I/O, Intel W480E chipset integrates five Serial ATA con-
trollers with software RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 capabilities.
RAID 0 striping increases the storage performance and is designed to speed up data
transfer rates for disk-intensive applications.
RAID 1 mirroring protects valuable data that might be lost in the event of a hard drive
failure.
RAID 5 array contains three or more hard drives where the data is divided into man-
ageable blocks called stripes. Parity is a mathematical method for recreating data
that was lost from a single drive, which increases fault-tolerance. The data and parity
are striped across all the hard drives in the array. The parity is striped in a rotating
sequence to reduce bottlenecks associated with the parity calculations.
RAID 10 array uses four hard drives to create a combination of RAID levels 0 and 1.
The data is striped across a two-drive array forming the RAID 0 component. Each of
the drives in the RAID 0 array is then mirrored by a RAID 1 component.
Note! Before installing the LAN drivers, make sure the CSI utility has been
installed on your system.
Note!
If the Intel
®
Management Engine (Intel ME) driver has not been suc-
cessfully installed, you may see an error on a “PCI Simple Communica -
tions Controller” in Device Manager.
Note! SATA RAID driver utility: When install RST driver, please keep BIOS hot
plug as default setting. ([Chipset]->[PCH-IO configuration]->[SATA and
RST configuration]-> [SATA Hot plug] ->[Enable]).
