Introduction

Onboard Dual LAN Features

• nVIDIA

nForce2 MCP-T and ICS1893 Phy

- Full duplex support at both 10 and 100 Mbps

• Realtek RTL8110S Gigabit LAN

- Full duplex support at 10, 100 and 1000 Mbps

• Integrated IEEE 802.3, 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX compatible

PHY

• Integrated power management functions

• Supports IEEE 802.3u auto-negotiation

PCI Bus Master IDE Controller

• Supports ATA/33, ATA/66, ATA/100 and ATA/133 hard drives

• UDMA Modes 3, 4, 5 and 6 Enhanced IDE (data transfer rate

up to 133MB/sec.)

• Bus mastering reduces CPU utilization during disk transfer

• Supports ATAPI CD-ROM, LS-120 and ZIP

SATA IDE/RAID Interface

• Silicon Image Sil3114 PCI to Serial ATA controller

• Supports four SATA (Serial ATA) interfaces which are compli-

ant with SATA 1.0 specification (1.5Gbps interface)

• Supports RAID 0 and RAID 1

Serial ATA (SATA) is a storage interface that is compliant with

SATA 1.0 specification. With speed of up to 1.5Gbps, it improves

hard drive performance even in data intensive environments such

as audio/video, consumer electronics and entry-level servers.

IEEE 1394 Interface

• nVIDIA

nForce2 MCP-T and Agere FW803 Phy chips

• Supports three 100/200/400 Mb/sec ports

IEEE 1394 is fully compliant with the 1394 OHCI (Open Host

Controller Interface) 1.1 specification. It supports up to 63 de-

vices that can run simultaneously on a system. 1394 is a fast ex-

ternal bus standard that supports data transfer rates of up to

400Mbps. In addition to its high speed, it also supports iso-

chronous data transfer which is ideal for video devices that need

to transfer high levels of data in real-time. 1394 supports both

Plug-and-Play and hot plugging.
