Compatibility
• PCI 2.2 and AC ’97 compliant
• Intel AGP version 3.0
ICH5R SATA IDE/RAID0 Interface
Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant with SATA 1.0
specification. With speed of up to 1.5Gbps, it improves hard drive
performance even in data intensive environments such as audio/
video, consumer electronics and entry-level servers.
• Two SATA (Serial ATA) interfaces which are compliant with SATA
1.0 specification (1.5Gbps interface)
• Supports RAID 0
ATA RAID - Redundant Array of Independent Disk (G4C600-R
only)
• Uses HighPoint 372N RAID controller
• RAID 0, 1, 0+1 and 1.5
-
RAID 1.5 performs data stripping and mirroring
simultaneously using two drives only
• Two independent IDE channels support up to 4 drives (ATA/33,
ATA/66, ATA/100, ATA/133 or EIDE)
• Suppor ts PIO modes 0/1/2/3/4, DMA modes 0/1/2 and
UDMA modes 0/1/2/3/4/5/6
PCI Bus Master IDE Controller
• Two PCI IDE interfaces support up to four IDE devices
• Supports ATA/33, ATA/66 and ATA/100 hard drives
• PIO Mode 4 Enhanced IDE (data transfer rate up to 14MB/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 wireless
connectivity between your computer and peripheral devices. The
IRDA (Infrared Data Association) specification suppor ts data
transfers of 115K baud at a distance of 1 meter.
