Introduction
Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant
with SATA 1.0a specification. With speed of up to
150MB/s, it improves hard drive performance faster than the stand-
ard parallel ATA whose data transfer rate is 100MB/s.
The two Realtek RTL8111C PCI Express Gigabit
controllers support up to 1Gbps data transmis-
sion.
The system board supports USB 2.0 and USB 1.1
ports. USB 1.1 suppor ts 12Mb/second bandwidth
while USB 2.0 suppor ts 480Mb/second bandwidth providing a
marked improvement in device transfer speeds between your com-
puter and a wide range of simultaneously accessible external Plug
and Play peripherals.
This feature allows the system that is in the
Suspend mode or Soft Power Off mode to
wake-up/power-on to respond to calls coming from an external mo-
dem or respond to calls from a modem PCI card that uses the PCI
PME (Power Management Event) signal to remotely wake up the
PC.
Important:
The 5V_standby power source of your power supply must sup-
port
≥
720mA.
This feature allows the network to remotely
wake up a Soft Power Down (Soft-Off) PC.
It is supported via the onboard LAN port or via a PCI LAN card
that uses the PCI PME (Power Management Event) signal. However,
if your system is in the Suspend mode, you can power-on the system
only through an IRQ or DMA interrupt.
