Intel Desktop Board DG43NB Technical Product Specification For information about PCI Express technology Refer to http://www.pcisig.com 1.6.2 Intel® Viiv™ Processor Technology This Intel desktop board supports Intel Viiv processor technology. To be eligible for the Intel Viiv processor technology brand, a system must meet certain hardware and software requirements. To get the list of requirements for Intel Viiv processor technology branding as well as all the features supported by Intel Viiv processor technology, refer to http://www.intel.com/products/viiv/index.htm 1.6.3 USB The board supports up to twelve USB 2.0 ports, supports UHCI and EHCI, and uses UHCI- and EHCI-compatible drivers. The ICH10 provides the USB controller for all ports. The port arrangement is as follows: • Six ports are implemented with stacked back panel connectors • Six ports are routed to three separate front panel USB headers For information about The location of the USB connectors on the back panel The location of the front panel USB headers Refer to Figure 9, page 43 Figure 10, page 44 1.6.4 Serial ATA Interfaces The board provides four Serial ATA (SATA) connectors, which support one device per connector. 1.6.4.1 Serial ATA Support The board's Serial ATA controller offers six independent Serial ATA ports with a theoretical maximum transfer rate of 3 Gbits/sec per port. One device can be installed on each port for a maximum of six Serial ATA devices. A point-to-point interface is used for host to device connections, unlike Parallel ATA IDE which supports a master/slave configuration and two devices per channel. For compatibility, the underlying Serial ATA functionality is transparent to the operating system. The Serial ATA controller can operate in both legacy and native modes. In legacy mode, standard IDE I/O and IRQ resources are assigned (IRQ 14 and 15). In Native mode, standard PCI Conventional bus resource steering is used. Native mode is the preferred mode for configurations using the Windows* XP operating system. 22

Viiv™ Processor Technology
This Intel desktop board supports Intel Viiv processor technology. To be eligible for
the Intel Viiv processor technology brand, a system must meet certain hardware and
software requirements. To get the list of requirements for Intel Viiv processor
technology branding as well as all the features supported by Intel Viiv processor
technology, refer to
1.6.3
USB
The board supports up to twelve USB 2.0 ports, supports UHCI and EHCI, and uses
UHCI- and EHCI-compatible drivers.
The ICH10 provides the USB controller for all ports.
The port arrangement is as
follows:
•
Six ports are implemented with stacked back panel connectors
•
Six ports are routed to three separate front panel USB headers
For information about
Refer to

1.6.4
Serial ATA Interfaces
The board provides four Serial ATA (SATA) connectors, which support one device per
connector.
1.6.4.1
Serial ATA Support
The board’s Serial ATA controller offers six independent Serial ATA ports with a
theoretical maximum transfer rate of 3 Gbits/sec per port.
One device can be installed
on each port for a maximum of six Serial ATA devices.
A point-to-point interface is
used for host to device connections, unlike Parallel ATA IDE which supports a
master/slave configuration and two devices per channel.
For compatibility, the underlying Serial ATA functionality is transparent to the
operating system.
The Serial ATA controller can operate in both legacy and native
modes.
In legacy mode, standard IDE I/O and IRQ resources are assigned (IRQ 14
and 15).
In Native mode, standard PCI Conventional bus resource steering is used.
Native mode is the preferred mode for configurations using the Windows* XP
operating system.
