Desktop Board Features 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 two 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. USB 2.0 support requires both an operating system and drivers that fully support USB 2.0 transfer rates. 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. Enhanced IDE Interface The ICH5's IDE interface handles the exchange of information between the processor and peripheral devices such as hard disk drives and CD-ROM drives. 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 Serial ATA The desktop board supports two Serial ATA channels via ICH5, connecting one device per channel. Expandability For system expansion, the desktop board provides the following: • Three PCI connectors • One AGP connector 17

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 two 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.
USB 2.0 support requires both an operating system and drivers that fully support USB 2.0 transfer
rates.
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.
Enhanced IDE Interface
The ICH5’s IDE interface handles the exchange of information between the processor and
peripheral devices such as hard disk drives and CD-ROM drives.
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
Serial ATA
The desktop board supports two Serial ATA channels via ICH5, connecting one device per channel.
Expandability
For system expansion, the desktop board provides the following:
•
Three PCI connectors
•
One AGP connector
