Intel Desktop Board DQ45EK Product Guide Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Support The Desktop Board supports up to 10 USB 2.0 ports (six ports routed to the back panel and four ports routed to two internal headers) via ICH10DO. 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. Serial ATA The Desktop Board supports five Serial ATA channels (3.0 Gb/s) via ICH10DO, connecting one device per channel. One channel is configured as an eSATA channel. Serial ATA RAID The ICH10DO supports Intel® Matrix Storage Technology which enables the following RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Drives) levels: • RAID 0 - data striping • RAID 1 - data mirroring • RAID 0+1 (or RAID 10) - data striping and mirroring • RAID 5 - distributed parity For information on configuring your system for RAID using Intel Matrix Storage Technology see Chapter 4. Intel® Rapid Recover Technology (Intel® RRT) The Desktop Board incorporates Intel Rapid Recover Technology which enables fast and easy recovery of your data in the event of a hard drive failure. It allows you to maintain a complete copy of your primary or master drive onto a second hard drive, the recovery drive. If the master hard drive should fail, either from a mechanical failure or the result of a virus, recovery is as simple as booting from the recovery drive. The recovery drive can be attached to your system via any standard SATA or eSATA connection. Intel Rapid Recover Technology also provides the added benefit of allowing the recovery drive to be mounted as a read-only volume so you can quickly copy files from the recovery drive when individual files need to be recovered. For information on configuring your system for Intel Rapid Recover Technology see Chapter 5. 22

Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Support
The Desktop Board supports up to 10 USB 2.0 ports (six ports routed to the back
panel and four ports routed to two internal headers) via ICH10DO.
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.
Serial ATA
The Desktop Board supports five Serial ATA channels (3.0 Gb/s) via ICH10DO,
connecting one device per channel.
One channel is configured as an eSATA channel.
Serial ATA RAID
The ICH10DO supports Intel
®
Matrix Storage Technology which enables the following
RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Drives) levels:
•
RAID 0 - data striping
•
RAID 1 - data mirroring
•
RAID 0+1 (or RAID 10) - data striping and mirroring
•
RAID 5 - distributed parity
For information on configuring your system for RAID using Intel Matrix Storage
Technology see Chapter 4.
