Serial ATA II technology The motherboard supports the Serial ATA II technology through the Serial ATA interfaces controlled by the NVIDIA® chipset. The SATA specification allows for thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage requirement, and up to 300 MB/s data transfer rate. See page 2-27 and 2-28 for details. 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® MCP55 Professional allows RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, RAID 5 and JBOD configuration for six SATA connectors. See pages 2-27 and 5-3 for details. The Silicon Image Sil3132 controller supports two additional SATA connectors and allows RAID 0 and RAID 1 configurations. See pages 2-28 and 5-11 for details. 8-channel high definition audio The motherboard supports 8-channel audio through the onboard ALC880 CODEC with 16-bit DAC, a stereo 16-bit ADC, and an AC97 2.3 compatible multi-channel audio. It also provides Jack-Sensing function, S/PDIF out support, interrupt capability and includes the Realtek® proprietary UAJ® (Universal Audio Jack) technology. See pages 2-24 and 6-12 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 2-24 and 2-30 for details. ASUS KFN5-D SLI 1-
