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.

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.

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

CK804 Professional allows RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, RAID 5

and JBOD configuration for four SATA connectors.

The LSISAS1068 is an eight-port, 3.0 Gbit/s SAS/SATA controller that is

compliant with the Fusion-MPT™ architecture, and supports the Integrated

™ architecture, and supports the Integrated

architecture, and supports the Integrated

RAID™ solution.

™ solution.

solution.

The LSI Logic Integrated RAID solution provides cost benefits for the server

or workstation market where the extra performance, storage capacity, and/

or redundancy of a RAID configuration are required. The two components of

Integrated RAID are:

Integrated Mirroring (IM), which provides features of RAID 1 and RAID

1E (RAID 1 Enhanced). RAID 1E is also called Mirroring Enhanced (IME).
Integrated Striping (IS), which provides features of RAID 0. By

simplifying the IM and the IS configuration options and by providing

firmware support in its host adapters, LSI Logic can offer the

Integrated RAID solution at a lower cost than a hardware RAID

implementation.

Fusion-MPT�� firmware supports IM and IS volumes. �ou can configure IM

�� firmware supports IM and IS volumes. �ou can configure IM

firmware supports IM and IS volumes. �ou can configure IM

and IS volumes together on the same LSI Logic SAS controller.
