Intel Desktop Board DQ965WC Product Guide Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Support NOTE Computer systems that have an unshielded cable attached to a USB port might not meet FCC Class B requirements, even if no device or a low-speed USB device is attached to the cable. Use a shielded cable that meets the requirements for a full-speed USB device. The desktop board supports up to 10 USB 2.0 ports via ICH8 (six ports routed to the back panel and four ports routed to two internal USB 2.0 headers). 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 four Serial ATA channels (3.0 Gb/s) via ICH8DO, connecting one device per channel. • Support for Native Command Queuing (NCQ) • Support for hot plug • RAID 0,1,5, and 10 Expandability For system expansion, the desktop board provides the following: • One PCI Express x16 connector BIOS The BIOS provides the Power-On Self-Test (POST), the BIOS Setup program, the PCI/PCI Express and IDE auto-configuration utilities, and the video BIOS. The BIOS is stored in a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Flash device. The BIOS can be updated by following the instructions on page 61 in Chapter 3. Serial ATA and IDE Auto Configuration If you install a Serial ATA or IDE device (such as a hard drive) in your computer, the auto-configuration utility in the BIOS automatically detects and configures the device for your computer. You do not need to run the BIOS Setup program after installing a Serial ATA or IDE device. You can override the auto-configuration options by specifying manual configuration in the BIOS Setup program. 20
