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 board'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 two 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 four Serial ATA channels (3.0 Gb/s) via ICH7, connecting one device per channel. 18

Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Support
The Desktop Board supports up to eight USB 2.0 ports (four ports routed to the back
panel and four ports routed to two internal headers) via the ICH7.
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 board’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 two 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 four Serial ATA channels (3.0 Gb/s) via ICH7, connecting
one device per channel.
