ASUS M2N32 WS Professional 1-3

PCI Express™ interface

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

specications. See page 2-18 for details.

Serial ATA I/II technology and SATA-On-The-Go

The motherboard fully supports the Serial ATA II 3.0 Gb/s technology through the

Serial ATA interfaces and the NVIDIA

nForce

590 SLI™ chipset. The Serial

ATA 3 Gb/s specication provides twice the bandwidth of the current Serial

ATA products with a host of new features, including Power Management (PM)

Implementation Algorithm. Serial ATA allows for thinner, more exible cables with

lower pin count and reduced voltage required. Leveraging these Serial ATA 3.0

Gb/s features is the SATA-On-The-Go. Supported by the Marvell

88SE614x Serial

ATA controller, four Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s connectors (three at mid-board and one on

the rear panel) provide smart setup, and hot-plug function. See pages 2-28, 2-31,

and 2-32 for details.

IEEE 1394a support

The IEEE 1394a interface provides high-speed and exible PC connectivity to

a wide range of peripherals and devices compliant to the IEEE 1394a standard.

The IEEE 1394a interface allows up to 400 Mbps transfer rates through simple,

low-cost, high-bandwidth asynchronous (real-time) data interfacing between

computers, peripherals, and consumer electronic devices such as camcorders,

VCRs, printers, TVs, and digital cameras. See page 2-33 for details.

S/PDIF digital sound ready

The motherboard supports the S/PDIF technology through the S/PDIF interfaces

on the rear panel. The S/PDIF technology turns your computer into a high-end

entertainment system with digital connectivity to powerful audio and speaker

systems. See page 2-27 for details.

USB 2.0 technology

The motherboard implements the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 specication,

dramatically increasing the connection speed from the 12 Mbps bandwidth on USB

1.1 to a fast 480 Mbps on USB 2.0. USB 2.0 is backward compatible with USB 1.1.

See pages 2-28 and 2-33 for details.
