Intel Desktop Board DG43RK Technical Product Specification 1.6.3.2 SATA Interfaces The Intel ICH10 SATA controller offers four independent SATA ports with a theoretical maximum transfer rate of 3.0 Gb/s on each port. One device can be installed on each port for a maximum of four SATA devices. A point-to-point interface is used for host to device connections, unlike PATA which supports a master/slave configuration and two devices on each channel. For compatibility, the underlying SATA functionality is transparent to the operating system. The SATA controller supports IDE and AHCI (Microsoft Windows Vista only) configuration and can operate in both legacy and native modes. In legacy mode, standard ATA I/O and IRQ resources are assigned (IRQ 14 and 15). In Native mode, standard Conventional PCI bus resource steering is used. Native mode is the preferred mode for configurations using the Windows* XP and Windows Vista operating systems. For information about Obtaining AHCI driver The location of the SATA connectors Refer to Section 1.3, page 14 Figure 10, page 46 1.7 Real-Time Clock Subsystem A coin-cell battery (CR2032) powers the real-time clock and CMOS memory. When the computer is not plugged into a wall socket, the battery has an estimated life of three years. When the computer is plugged in, the standby current from the power supply extends the life of the battery. The clock is accurate to ± 13 minutes/year at 25 ºC with 3.3 VSB applied. NOTE If the battery and AC power fail, custom defaults, if previously saved, will be loaded into CMOS RAM at power-on. When the voltage drops below a certain level, the BIOS Setup program settings stored in CMOS RAM (for example, the date and time) might not be accurate. Replace the battery with an equivalent one. Figure 1 on page 11 shows the location of the battery. 24
