¥
WOL PORTS
One WOL connector supports Wake-On-LAN (WOL up-designed)
¥
USB PORTS
Two Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports.
¥
IDE PORTS
Two channels of Ultra DMA/33 (or UDMA/66) Bus Master IDE ports, which will
support up to 4 IDE devices like IDE hard disk, ATAPI CD-ROM etc. The IDE
ports can be programmed to support PIO Mode 4, DMA mode 2 and Ultra
DMA/33.
Note: When the chipset on U11 is the VIA596A, you may see the following
message on the screen if you are using the UDMA/66 HDD.
"Primary IDE Channel no 80 conductor cable installed. …"
Basically, this VIA596A mainboard will work with UDMA/66 HDD, but the
performance will be reduced because it does not support the new transfer protocol.
