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 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 PCI modem 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.
