Desktop Board Features Serial ATA The Desktop Board supports six Serial ATA channels (3.0 Gb/s) via ICH10R, connecting one device per channel. One channel is configured as an eSATA channel. Serial ATA RAID ICH10R supports Intel® Matrix Storage Technology which enables the following RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Drives) levels: • RAID 0 - data striping • RAID 1 - data mirroring • RAID 0+1 (or RAID 10) - data striping and mirroring • RAID 5 - distributed parity For information on configuring your system for RAID using Intel Matrix Storage Technology see Chapter 4. Intel® Rapid Recover Technology (Intel® RRT) The Desktop Board supports Intel Rapid Recover Technology which enables fast and easy recovery of your data in the event of a hard drive failure. It allows you to maintain a complete copy of your primary or master drive onto a second hard drive, the recovery drive. If the master hard drive should fail, either from a mechanical failure or the result of a virus, recovery is as simple as booting from the recovery drive. The recovery drive can be attached to your system via any standard SATA or eSATA connection. Intel Rapid Recover Technology also provides the added benefit of allowing the recovery drive to be mounted as a read-only volume so you can quickly copy files from the recovery drive when individual files need to be recovered. For information on configuring your system for Intel Rapid Recover Technology see Chapter 5. Expandability For system expansion, the Desktop Board provides the following expansion slots: • One PCI Express 2.0 x16 connector (compatible with PCI Express 1.1 add-in cards) • Two PCI Express 1.1 x1 connectors • One PCI bus connector 19

®
Matrix Storage Technology which enables the following RAID
(Redundant Array of Independent Drives) levels:
RAID 0 - data striping
RAID 1 - data mirroring
RAID 0+1 (or RAID 10) - data striping and mirroring
RAID 5 - distributed parity
For information on configuring your system for RAID using Intel Matrix Storage
Technology see Chapter 4.

RRT)
The Desktop Board supports Intel Rapid Recover Technology which enables fast and
easy recovery of your data in the event of a hard drive failure.
It allows you to
maintain a complete copy of your primary or master drive onto a second hard drive,
the recovery drive.
If the master hard drive should fail, either from a mechanical
failure or the result of a virus, recovery is as simple as booting from the recovery

The recovery drive can be attached to your system via any standard SATA or
eSATA connection.
Intel Rapid Recover Technology also provides the added benefit of allowing the
recovery drive to be mounted as a read-only volume so you can quickly copy files from
the recovery drive when individual files need to be recovered.
