Gigabit LAN solution
The motherboard comes with dual Gigabit LAN controllers and ports to provide
a total solution for your networking needs. The onboard Broadcom BCM5721
Gigabit LAN controllers use the PCI Express interface and could achieve network
throughput close to Gigabit bandwidth.
Serial ATA II technology
The motherboard supports the Serial ATA II technology through the Serial ATA
interfaces controlled by the Intel
®
ICH7R. The SATA specication allows for thinner,
more exible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage requirement, and up to
300 MB/s data transfer rate.

The LSI Logic Integrated RAID solution provides cost benets for the server
or workstation market where the extra performance, storage capacity, and/or
redundancy of a RAID conguration are required. The two components of
Integrated RAID are:
Integrated Mirroring (IM), which provides features of RAID 1 and RAID 1E
(RAID 1 Enhanced). RAID 1E is also called Mirroring Enhanced (IME).
Integrated Striping (IS), which provides features of RAID 0. By simplifying the
IM and the IS conguration options and by providing rmware support in its
host adapters, LSI Logic can offer the Integrated RAID solution at a lower cost
than a hardware RAID implementation.
