[. . . ] Traditionally AGP used both rising and falling edge of the 66MHz clock for 8X AGP, and the data transfer rate could achieve 2. 1GB/s. Now PCI Express x 16 is moving to higher data transfer rate, which is upgraded to 8. 0GB/s (250MB/s x 16 x 2, it's 4. 0GB/s per direction).

Connecting PCI Express x 1 Slot
This motherboard provides two PCI Express x 1 slots, which are located between the PCI Express x 16 and traditional PCI slot. In order to go with the step of today's and tomorrow's processors, PCI Express x 1 provides higher I/O bandwidth. The transfer data rate could achieve 250MB/s, which is close to twice the traditional PCI 2. 2 data transfer rate. You could install any PCI Express x 1 device in the slot for your preference.
20
Connecting IrDA
The IrDA connector can be configured to support wireless infrared module, with this module and application software such as Laplink or Windows Direct Cable Connection, user can transfer files to or from laptops, notebooks, PDA devices and printers. This connector supports both HPSIR (115. 2Kbps, 2 meters) and ASK-IR (56Kbps). Install an infrared module onto the IrDA connector and enable the infrared function from BIOS Setup, UART Mode, you can use this function. Please make sure you connect correct orientation when plugging IrDA module.

10/100/1000Mbps LAN Supported
On the strength of Gigabit LAN controller on board, this motherboard provides 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet for office and home use. The right hand side LED indicates link mode; it lights in orange when linking to network. The left hand side LED indicates the transfer mode and will light in green when data is transferring at 100Mbps (never lights while at 10Mbps), but will light in orange when transferring in Gigabit's mode. To enable or disable this function, you may simply adjust it through BIOS. To enable LAN wakeup function, you have to set the "Wake on PCI Card" enable in the BIOS "Power Management Setup" section.

Connecting 1394
This motherboard comes with AGERE 1394 Control Chip onboard, the IEEE 1394 provides data transfer rate up to 400Mb/s, this interface can connect to devices that require high data transferring performance such as digital camera, scanner or others IEEE 1394 devices. Please use appropriate cables to connect IEEE1394 devices.

Connecting S/PDIF
S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) is a newest audio transfer file format, which provides impressive audio quality through optical fiber and allows you to enjoy digital audio instead of analog audio. Through a specific audio cable, you can connect the S/PDIF connector to other end of the S/PDIF audio module, which bears S/PDIF digital output. Normally there are two S/PDIF outputs as shown, one for RCA connector, the most common one used for consumer audio products, and the other for optical connector with better audio quality. Same as outputs, you can also connect RCA or optical audio products to input connectors on the module and have the voice or music come out from your computer. However, you must have a S/PDIF supported speaker/amplifier/decoder with S/PDIF digital input/output to connect to the S/PDIF digital input/output to make the most out of this function.

Connecting Front Audio
If the housing is designed with an audio port on the front panel, you'll be able to connect onboard audio to front panel through this connector. By the way, please remove the jumper cap from the Front Audio Connector before you connect the cable. Do not remove this yellow jumper cap if your housing doesn't have an audio port on the front panel.
