Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s technology and SATA-On-The-Go The motherboard fully supports the Serial ATA II 3.0 Gb/s technology through the Serial ATA interfaces and the ATI® SB 600 chipset. The Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s specification provides twice the bandwidth of the current Serial ATA products with a host of new features, including Power Management (PM) Implementation Algorithm. Serial ATA allows for thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin count and reduced voltage required. Leveraging these Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s features is the SATA-On-The-Go. Supported by the JMicron® Serial ATA controller, the Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s connector (on the rear panel) provides smart setup and hot-plug function. See pages 2-25 and 2-27 for details. 8-channel high definition audio Onboard is the ADI® AD1988A High Definition Audio 8-channel audio CODEC. This CODEC is fully-compliant with Intel® High Definition Audio standard (192 KHz, 24-bit audio). With the CODEC, 8-channel audio ports, and S/PDIF interfaces, you can connect your computer to home theater decoders to produce crystal-clear digital audio. IEEE 1394a support The IEEE 1394a interface provides high-speed and flexible PC connectivity to a wide range of peripherals and devices compliant to IEEE 1394a standards. The IEEE 1394a interface allows up to 400 Mbps transfer rates through simple, low-cost, high-bandwidth asynchronous (real-time) data interfacing between computers, peripherals, and consumer electronic devices such as camcorders, VCRs, printers,TVs, and digital cameras. See page 2-31 for details. USB 2.0 technology The motherboard implements the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 specification, dramatically increasing the connection speed from the 12 Mbps bandwidth on USB 1.1 to a fast 480 Mbps on USB 2.0. USB 2.0 is backward compatible with USB 1.1. See pages 2-25 and 2-30 for details. ASUS M2R32-MVP 1-3
