ASUS KFN4-DRE 1-3

Serial ATA 3Gb/s technology

The motherboard supports the next-generation Serial ATA 3Gb/s

technology through the Serial ATA interfaces and the NVIDIA

nForce4

PRO chipset. The SATA 3Gb/s specication provides twice the bandwidth

of the current Serial ATA products. Additionally, Serial ATA allows thinner,

more exible cables with lower pin count, and reduced voltage requirement.

See pages 2-24.

Dual Gigabit LAN solution

The motherboard comes with dual Gigabit LAN controllers to provide

comprehensive solution for your networking operation. The integrated

network controllers use the PCI Express segment to provide higher data

bandwidth for your wired or wireless Internet, LAN, and le sharing

requirements. See page 2-18, 2-19, and 2-21 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 2-21 and 2-25 for details.

Temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring

The CPU temperature is monitored by the ASIC (Winbond W83792D) to

prevent overheating and damage. The system fan rotations per minute

(RPM) is monitored for timely failure detection. The ASIC monitors the

voltage levels to ensure stable supply of current for critical components.

See section “4.4.8 Hardware Monitor” on page 4-29.
