USB 2.0 Support
The Intel
®
Workstation Board WX58BP supports up to 12 USB 2.0 ports (eight ports
routed to back panel connectors and four ports routed to two onboard headers)
through the ICH10R. USB 2.0 ports are backwards-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
Intel
®
Workstation Board WX58BP supports six onboard Serial ATA channels (3.0
Gb/s) through ICH10R.
The six onboard Serial ATA channels provided by ICH10R support 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 data mirroring
 RAID 5 - Distributed parity
