Serial ATA technology
The motherboard supports the Serial ATA technology through the Serial ATA interfaces
and the ICH10DO 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.
Temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring
The CPU temperature is monitored by the ASIC (integrated in the Winbond Super I/O) to
prevent overheating and damage. The system fan rotations per minute (RPM) is monitored
for timely failure detection. The ASIC monitors the voltage levels to ensure stable supply of
current for critical components.
