10 MFMAXDATA PLATINUM 200 IBoard Features
NOTE
System resources (such as PCI and PCI Express) require physical memory address locations that
reduce available memory addresses above 3 GB. This may result in less than 4 GB of memory being
available to the operating system and applications.
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 board supports up to eight USB 2.0 ports via ICH6-R; four ports routed to the back panel and
four 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 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.
Enhanced IDE Interface
The ICH6-R’s IDE interface handles the exchange of information between the processor and peripheral
devices like hard disks, CD-ROM drives, and Iomega Zip drives inside the computer. The interface
supports:
• Up to two IDE devices (such as hard drives)
• ATAPI-style devices (such as CD-ROM drives)
• Older PIO Mode devices
• Ultra DMA-33 and ATA-66/100 protocols
• Laser Servo (LS-120) drives
Serial ATA
The board supports four Serial ATA channels via the ICH6-R, connecting one device per channel in
either a RAID or non-RAID configuration.
