High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)
HDCP is the technology for protecting high definition content against unauthorized copy or interception between a source
(computer, digital set top boxes, etc.) and the sink (panels, monitor, and TVs). The PCH supports HDCP 1.4a for content
protection over wired displays (Mini HDMI and Mini DisplayPort).
Integrated Audio
The Mini HDMI and Mini DisplayPort interfaces from the PCH support audio. The processor supports tow High Definition
audio streams on two digital ports simultaneously. Below are the specific audio technologies supported by the PCH.

USB
The Xi3 NUC supports eight USB ports. All eight ports are high-speed, full-speed, and low-speed capable. The port
arrangement is as follows:
•
USB 3.0 ports
− Two front panel USB 3.0 ports are implemented through an external connector
− Two ports are implemented with vertical back panel connectors
•
USB 2.0 ports
− Two ports via one dual-port internal 2.0 mm pitch header
− One port is reserved for the PCI Express Half-Mini Card
− One port is reserved for the PCI Express Full-Mini Card
SATA Interface
The Xi3 NUC provides the following SATA interfaces:
•
One internal mSATA port (PCI Express Full-Mini Card) for SSD support
•
One SATA 6.0 Gb/s
The PCH provides independent SATA ports with a theoretical maximum transfer rate of 6 Gb/s. A point to point interface is
used for host to device connections.
Intel Rapid Storage Technology
The PCH supports Intel® Rapid Storage Technology, providing both AHCI and integrated RAID functionality. The RAIC
capability provides high-performance RAID 0 and 1 functionality on all SATA ports. Other RAIC features include hot spare
support, SMART alerting, and RAIC 0 auto replace. Software components include an Option ROM for pre-boot configuration
and boot functionality, a Microsoft Windows compatible driver, and a user interface for configuration and management of the
RAID capability of the PCH.
Intel Smart Response Technology
Intel® Smart Technology is a disk caching solution that can provide improved computer system performance with improved
power savings. It allows configuration of a computer system with the advantage of having HDDs for maximum storage
capacity with system performance at or near SSD performance levels.
{Note, in order to use support RAID and Intel® Smart
Response Technology features, you must first enable RAIC in the BIOS}
Hardware Management Subsystem
The hardware management features enable the board to be compatible with the Wired for Management (WfM) specification.
The board has several hardware management features, including thermal and voltage monitoring.
The hardware monitoring and fan control subsystem is based on a Nuvoton NCT5577D embedded controller, which support
the following:
•
Processor and system ambient temperature monitoring
•
Chassis fan speed monitoring
•
Voltage monitoring of +12V, +5V, +3.3V, Memory Vcc (V_SM), +Vccp, PCH VCC
•
SMBus interface
