Introduction
Intel Active Management Technology (AMT)
Intel Active Management Technology (Intel
®
AMT) allows remote access and man-
agement of networked systems even while PCs are powered off, remotely repair
systems after OS failures and has the capability to remotely update all systems
with the latest security software.
S/PDIF
S/PDIF is a standard audio file transfer format that transfers digital audio sig-
nals to a device without having to be converted first to an analog format. This
prevents the quality of the audio signal from degrading whenever it is converted
to analog. S/PDIF is usually found on digital audio equipment such as a DAT
machine or audio processing device. The S/PDIF connector on the system board
sends surround sound and 3D audio signal outputs to amplifiers and speakers
and to digital recording devices like CD recorders.
Serial ATA
Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant with SATA 1.0a specification.
With speed of up to 3Gbps, it improves hard drive performance faster than the
standard parallel ATA whose data transfer rate is 100MB/s. The system board
supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5 and RAID 10.
Gigabit LAN
The Intel 82577LM Gigabit LAN Phy supports iAMT6.0 while the Realtek RTL8111C
PCI Express Gigabit controller supports up to 1Gbps data transmission.
USB
The system board supports USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports. USB 1.1 supports 12Mb/
second bandwidth while USB 2.0 supports 480Mb/second bandwidth providing a
marked improvement in device transfer speeds between your computer and a
wide range of simultaneously accessible external Plug and Play peripherals.
CompactFlash
The system board is equipped with the CompactFlash
TM
socket for inserting a
CompactFlash
TM
card. CompactFlash
TM
card is a small removable mass storage
device designed with flash technology - a non-volatile storage solution that does
not require a battery to retain data indefinitely. The CompactFlash
TM
technology
is widely used in products such as portable and desktop computers, digital cam-
eras, handheld data collection scanners, PDAs, Pocket PCs, handy terminals and
personal communicators.
