Expansion
Options
The motherboard comes with the following expansion options:
•
Three 32-bit PCI slots
•
One AGP slot
•
Two IDE connectors which support four IDE channels and
a floppy disk drive interface
The SF2 supports Ultra DMA bus mastering with transfer rates
of 133/100/66/33 MB/sec.
RTL8100C is a highly integrated and cost-effective single-chip
Fast Ethernet controller that complies with PC99/PC2001
standards. It integrates Fast Ethernet MAC, physical chip and
transceiver onto a single chip and supports 10 Mbps and 100
Mbps operation. It also provides PCI bus master data transfer
rate and PCI clock speed of 16.75 MHz ~ 40 MHz.
Onboard LAN
(optional)
RTL8110S combines a triple speed IEEE 802.3 compliant
media access controller (MAC) with a triple-speed Ethernet
transceiver, 32/64-bit PCI bus controller and embedded mem-
ory. The devices support the PCI v2.2 bus interface and
supports 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet. The devices support an
auxiliary power auto-detect function, and will auto-configure
related bits of the PCI power management registers in PCI
configuration space.
