Intel Desktop Board D848PMB Product Guide Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Support NOTE Computer systems that have an unshielded cable attached to a USB port might not meet FCC Class B requirements, even if no device or a low-speed USB device is attached to the cable. Use a shielded cable that meets the requirements for a full-speed USB device. The desktop board supports up to eight USB 2.0 ports via ICH5; four ports routed to the back panel and four routed to the internal USB 2.0 headers. USB 2.0 ports are backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices. USB 1.1 devices will function normally at USB 1.1 speeds. Disabling Hi-Speed USB in the BIOS reverts all USB 2.0 ports to USB 1.1 operation. This may be required to accommodate operating systems that do not support USB 2.0. NOTE USB devices are limited to USB 1.1 transfer rates prior to operating system and driver initialization. Enhanced IDE Interface The ICH5's IDE interface handles the exchange of information between the processor and peripheral devices like hard disks, CD-ROM drives, and Iomega Zip* drives inside the computer. The interface supports: • Up to four IDE devices (such as hard drives) • ATAPI-style devices (such as CD-ROM drives) • Older PIO Mode devices • Ultra DMA-33 and ATA-66/100 protocols • Laser Servo (LS-120) drives Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) NOTE Desktop Board D848PMB is only compatible with 0.8 V and 1.5 V AGP cards. The AGP connector is keyed for 0.8 V and 1.5 V AGP cards only; the connector is not mechanically compatible with legacy 3.3 V AGP cards. Do not attempt to install a legacy 3.3 V AGP card. AGP is a high-performance interface for graphics-intensive applications, such as 3D graphics. AGP is independent of the PCI bus and is intended for exclusive use with graphical display devices. The AGP 3.0 connector supports 8x, 4x, and 1x AGP cards. Related Links: For information about installing the AGP card, see page 32 in Chapter 2. 18
