Understanding System Features 3-11
Both the primary and secondary IDE ports feature an
enhanced IDE interface that supports up to 16 MB per
second 32-bit wide data transfers on the high-performance
PCI local bus.
USB Port
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) port allows you to add new
serial devices without opening up the system — simply plug
them into the port. The USB determines system resources
for each peripheral and assigns them without user
intervention. Up to 127 devices can be daisy chained to a
single PC.
SCSI Port
The small computer systems interface (SCSI) board
installed in SCSI configurations provides the highest
performance SCSI I/O technology to the fast PCI local-bus.
The SCSI port connects the hard disk in SCSI
configurations and is compatible with all SCSI-2 and
SCSI-3 peripherals. The BIOS-resident SCSISelect
configuration utility eliminates the need to set jumpers or
terminators when adding peripherals. Settings are controlled
through the keyboard. See Chapter 4, NEC Drivers and
Utilities, for information on using SCSISelect.
Sound System
The Yamaha sound system provides compatibility with
Sound Blaster Pro™, Sound Blaster™ 2.0, Ad Lib™,
MPU-401, and Microsoft® Windows Sound System™ for
PC sound applications.
For detailed sound specifications, see the “System
Specifications” in Appendix C.
