Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Support  
The Desktop Board supports up to eight USB 2.0 ports (four ports routed to the back 
panel and four ports routed to two internal headers) via the ICH7.  USB 2.0 ports are 
backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices.  USB 1.1 devices will function normally at 
USB 1.1 speeds. 
USB 2.0 support requires both an operating system and drivers that fully support 
USB 2.0 transfer rates.  Disabling Hi-Speed USB in the BIOS reverts all USB 2.0 ports 
to USB 1.1 operation.  This may be required to accommodate operating systems that 
do not support USB 2.0. 
Enhanced IDE Interface 
The board’s IDE interface handles the exchange of information between the processor 
and peripheral devices such as hard disk drives and CD-ROM drives.  The interface 
supports: 
•  Up to two IDE devices (such as hard drives) 
•  ATAPI-style devices (such as CD-ROM drives) 
•  Older PIO Mode devices 
•  Ultra DMA-33 and ATA-66/100 protocols 
Serial ATA  
The Desktop Board supports four Serial ATA channels (3.0 Gb/s) via ICH7, connecting 
one device per channel.
