Onboard LAN Features
• Uses Phy fast ethernet controller
• Integrated IEEE 802.3, 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX compatible
PHY
• 32-bit PCI master interface
• Integrated power management functions
• Full duplex support at both 10 and 100 Mbps
• Supports IEEE 802.3u auto-negotiation
• Supports wire for management
IEEE 1394A Interface (648FX-AL only)
IEEE 1394A is fully compliant with the 1394A OHCI (Open Host
Controller Interface) 1.1 specification. It supports up to 63 de-
vices that can run simultaneously on a system. 1394A is a fast
external bus standard that supports data transfer rates of up to
400Mbps. In addition to its high speed, it also suppor ts iso-
chronous data transfer which is ideal for video devices that need
to transfer high levels of data in real-time. 1394A supports both
Plug-and-Play and hot plugging.
• Uses Agere FW803 chip
• Supports three 100/200/400 Mb/sec ports
PCI Bus Master IDE Controller
• Two PCI IDE interfaces support up to four IDE devices
• Supports ATA/33, ATA/66, ATA/100 and ATA/133 hard drives
• UDMA Modes 3, 4, 5 and 6 Enhanced IDE (data transfer rate
up to 133MB/sec.)
• Bus mastering reduces CPU utilization during disk transfer
• Supports ATAPI CD-ROM, LS-120 and ZIP
IrDA Interface
The system board is equipped with an IrDA connector for wire-
less connectivity between your computer and peripheral devices.
The IRDA (Infrared Data Association) specification supports data
transfers of 115K baud at a distance of 1 meter.
