Dual RAID solution Onboard RAID controllers provide the motherboard with dual-RAID functionality that allows you to select the best RAID solution using IDE or Serial ATA devices. The NVIDIA® nForce4® PRO allows RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1 and JBOD configuration for four SATA and two PATA connectors. See pages 2-23 and 2-24 for details. The LSI 1020A controller (SCSI models only) supports a single-channel SCSI Ultra320 and allows RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 1E. See pages 2-25 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 2-22 and 2-27 for details. Temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring The CPU temperature is monitored by the ASIC (Winbond W83792D) to prevent overheating and damage. The system fan rotations per minute (RPM) is monitored for timely failure detection. The ASIC monitors the voltage levels to ensure stable supply of current for critical components. See section "4.4.8 Hardware Monitor" on page 4-27. ASUS K8N-DRE 1-3
