PCI Bus Master IDE Controller
• Two PCI IDE interfaces support up to four IDE devices
• Supports ATA/33, ATA/66, ATA/100 and ATA/133 hard drives
• UDMA Modes 3, 4, 5 and 6 Enhanced IDE (data transfer rate
up to 133MB/sec.)
• Bus mastering reduces CPU utilization during disk transfer
• Supports ATAPI CD-ROM, LS-120 and ZIP
Serial ATA IDE Interface
• Uses Marvell 88i8030 chip
• Supports one SATA (Serial ATA) interface which is compliant
with SATA 1.0 specification (1.5Gbps 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.
IEEE 1394a Interface
®
• nVIDIA nForce2
• Supports three 100/200/400 Mb/sec ports
IEEE 1394A is fully compliant with the 1394A OHCI (Open Host
Controller Interface) 1.1 specification. It supports up to 63 de-
vices that can run simultaneously on a system. 1394A is a fast
external bus standard that supports data transfer rates of up to
400Mbps. In addition to its high speed, it also suppor ts iso-
chronous data transfer which is ideal for video devices that need
to transfer high levels of data in real-time. 1394A supports both
Plug-and-Play and hot plugging.
S/PDIF
S/PDIF is a standard audio file transfer format that transfers digital
audio signals to a device without having to be converted first to
an analog format. This prevents the quality of the audio signal
from degrading whenever it is converted to analog. S/PDIF is usu-
ally found on digital audio equipment such as a DAT machine or
audio processing device. The S/PDIF connector on the system
