Onboard RAID controllers provide the motherboard with multi-RAID

functionality that allows you to select the best RAID solution using IDE or

Serial ATA devices.

The Intel

ICH6R allows RAID 0 and RAID 1 configuration for four SATA

connectors and supports the Intel

Matrix Storage Technology. See page

2-24 for details.

The Sil3114R controller supports four additional SATA connectors and

allows RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, JBOD, and a software patch to support

RAID 5. See page 2-25 for details.

If you are using IDE hard disk drives, the ITE 8212 controller provides

RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, and JBOD functionality for two IDE channels

that supports for up to four IDE hard disk drives. See pages 2-25, 2-26,

The motherboard fully supports PCI Express, the latest I/O interconnect

technology that speeds up the PCI bus. PCI Express features point-to-point

serial interconnections between devices and allows higher clockspeeds by

carrying data in packets. This high speed interface is software compatible with

existing PCI specifications. See page 2-16 for details.
