1-7 Versatile Media Capabilities
High Definition Audio
The High Definition Audio Controller embedded in the ICH9 delivers up to 4 codecs
that can be used for different types of codecs, such as audio and modem codecs.
Operating at 3.3V or 1.5V, the embedded Audio Controller supports a multi-channel
audio stream, 32-bit sample depth, up to 192 kHz of same rate, and can be used
with a variety of microphones for input. With these versatile audio capabilities built
in, the C2SBM-Q provides the user with a surreal audio experience that is larger
than life.
I/O Virtualization Technology (VT-d)
With the Intel ICH9 built in, the C2SBM-Q supports I/O Virtualization Technology (VT-
d) that enables multiple operating systems and applications to run in independent
partitions. Each partition uses its own subset of host physical memory, and behaves
like a virtual machine (VM), providing isolation and protection across multiple parti-
tions. This feature is available when a processor that supports the virtualization of
platforms is installed on the motherboard.
1-8 Super I/O
The disk drive adapter functions of the Super I/O chip include a data separator,
write pre-compensation circuitry, decode logic, data rate selection, a clock generator,
drive interface control logic and interrupt and DMA logic. The Super I/O supports
two 360 K, 720 K, 1.2 M, 1.44 M or 2.88 M disk drives and data transfer rates of
250 Kb/s, 500 Kb/s or 1 Mb/s.
It also provides four high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication ports
(UARTs). Each UART includes a 16-byte send/receive FIFO, a programmable baud
rate generator, complete modem control capability and a processor interrupt sys-
tem. Both UARTs provide legacy speed with baud rate of up to 115.2 Kbps as well
as an advanced speed with baud rates of 250 K, 500 K, or 1 Mb/s, which support
higher speed modems.
The Super I/O provides functions that comply with the ACPI (Advanced Configura -
tion and Power Interface), which includes support of legacy and ACPI power man-
agement through a SMI or SCI function pin. It also features auto power management
to reduce power consumption.
