Intel Desktop Board DP965LT Technical Product Specification 1.5 Intel® P965 Express Chipset The Intel P965 Express chipset consists of the following devices: • Intel 82P965 Memory Controller Hub (MCH) with Direct Media Interface (DMI) interconnect • Intel 82801HB I/O Controller Hub (ICH8) with DMI interconnect The MCH component provides interfaces to the CPU, memory, PCI Express, and the DMI interconnect. The ICH8 is a centralized controller for the board's I/O paths. For information about The Intel P965 Express chipset Resources used by the chipset Refer to http://developer.intel.com/ Chapter 2 1.5.1 USB The board supports up to 10 USB 2.0 ports, supports UHCI and EHCI, and uses UHCIand EHCI-compatible drivers. The ICH8 provides the USB controller for all ports. The port arrangement is as follows: • Six ports are implemented with stacked back panel connectors • Four ports are routed to two separate front panel USB headers NOTE Computer systems that have an unshielded cable attached to a USB port may not meet FCC Class B requirements, even if no device is attached to the cable. Use shielded cable that meets the requirements for full-speed devices.

One device can be installed on each port for a maximum of six Serial ATA devices. A point-to-point interface is used for host to device connections, unlike Parallel ATA IDE which supports a master/slave configuration and two devices per channel. For compatibility, the underlying Serial ATA functionality is transparent to the operating system. The Serial ATA controller can operate in both legacy and native modes. In legacy mode, standard IDE I/O and IRQ resources are assigned (IRQ 14 26
