Introduction

S/PDIF is a standard audio file transfer format that

transfers digital audio signals to a device without

having to be converted first to an analog format. This prevents the

quality of the audio signal from degrading whenever it is converted

to analog. S/PDIF is usually found on digital audio equipment such as

a DAT machine or audio processing device. The S/PDIF connector on

the system board sends surround sound and 3D audio signal out-

puts to amplifiers and speakers and to digital recording devices like

CD recorders.

Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant

with SATA 1.0 specification. With speed of up to

1.5Gbps, it improves hard drive performance faster than the stand-

ard parallel ATA whose data transfer rate is 100MB/s.

The system board is equipped with an IrDA connec-

tor for wireless connectivity between your computer

and peripheral devices. The IRDA (Infrared Data Association) specifi-

cation supports data transfers of 115K baud at a distance of 1

meter.

The system board supports USB 2.0 and USB 1.1

ports. USB 1.1 supports 12Mb/second bandwidth

while USB 2.0 supports 480Mb/second bandwidth providing a

marked improvement in device transfer speeds between your com-

puter and a wide range of simultaneously accessible external Plug

and Play peripherals.

This feature allows the network to remotely

wake up a Soft Power Down (Soft-Off) PC.

It is supported via the onboard LAN port or via a PCI LAN card

that uses the PCI PME (Power Management Event) signal. However,

if your system is in the Suspend mode, you can power-on the system

only through an IRQ or DMA interrupt.

Important:

The 5VSB power source of your power supply must support

≥

720mA.
