Ultra320 SCSI feature The Adaptec® AIC-7901X PCI-X SCSI controller is onboard to support one 68-pin Ultra320 SCSI connector, that can connect up to 15 SCSI devices. See page 2-27 and Chapter 5 for details. Zero-Channel RAID (ZCR) card solution The motherboard comes with a PCI-X slot (the green slot on the model) that supports an optional Zero-Channel RAID card. The Zero-Channel RAID card allows you to create all types of RAID configurations for your storage devices. The ZCR capability provides a cost-effective, high-performance, and added reliability for your server system. 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. See page 2-23 for details. Serial ATA II technology The motherboard supports the Serial ATA II technology through the Serial ATA interfaces controlled by the Intel® ICH7R. 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. Built-in SATA RAID solution The Intel® ICH7R allows RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, and RAID 5 configuration for SATA hard disk drives via the Intel® Matrix Storage Manager (under Windows Operating System) or the LSI Logic Embedded SATA RAID Setup Utility (no RAID 5). See page 2-25 and Chapter 5 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 2-23 and 2-26 for details. ASUS P5MT-S 1-3
