Intel Desktop Board D875PBZ Product Guide IDE Support Enhanced IDE Interface The ICH5R's IDE interface handles the exchange of information between the processor and peripheral devices like hard disks, CD-ROM drives, and Iomega Zip* 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 • Laser Servo (LS-120) drives SCSI LED Connector The SCSI hard drive LED connector is a 1x2-pin connector that allows an add-in SCSI controller (or other add-in card hard drive controller) to use the same LED as the onboard IDE controller. Serial ATA (SATA) The ICH5Rs Serial ATA interface handles the exchange of data between the processor and SATA devices. The controller supports: • Transfer rate of 150 MB/sec • Up to two SATA devices • RAID 0 (striping) support (for Windows XP only) • PIO and DMA modes Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) NOTE The AGP connector is keyed for 1.5 V and 0.8 V AGP cards only. Do not attempt to install a legacy 3.3 V AGP card. The AGP connector is not mechanically compatible with legacy 3.3 V AGP cards. 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 add-in cards. Related Links: For information about installing the AGP card, see page 37 in Chapter 2. BIOS The BIOS provides the Power-On Self-Test (POST), the BIOS Setup program, the PCI and IDE auto-configuration utilities, and the video BIOS. The BIOS is stored in the Firmware Hub. The BIOS can be updated by following the instructions on page 53 in Chapter 3. 20

IDE Support
Enhanced IDE Interface
The ICH5R
s IDE interface handles the exchange of information between the processor and
peripheral devices like hard disks, CD-ROM drives, and Iomega Zip
*
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
Laser Servo (LS-120) drives
SCSI LED Connector
The SCSI hard drive LED connector is a 1x2-pin connector that allows an add-in SCSI controller
(or other add-in card hard drive controller) to use the same LED as the onboard IDE controller.
Serial ATA (SATA)
The ICH5Rs Serial ATA interface handles the exchange of data between the processor and SATA
devices.
The controller supports:
Transfer rate of 150 MB/sec
Up to two SATA devices
RAID 0 (striping) support (for Windows XP only)
PIO and DMA modes
Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP)
NOTE
The AGP connector is keyed for 1.5 V and 0.8 V AGP cards only.
Do not attempt to install a legacy
3.3 V AGP card.
The AGP connector is not mechanically compatible with legacy 3.3 V AGP cards.
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 add-in cards.
