S/PDI (PE21-EC/A and PE21-EL/A only)

The system board is equipped with the S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital

Interface) digital audio interface. S/PDIF is a standard audio file

transfer format that transfers digital audio signals to a device without

having to be converted first to an analog format. This prevents the

quality of the audio signal from degrading whenever it is converted

to analog.

IrDA Interface

The mainboard is equipped with an IrDA connector for wireless

connectivity between your computer and peripheral devices.

Introduction

USB Ports

The mainboard supports 6 USB .0 (compliant with USB 1.1) ports.

USB 1.1 supports 1 Mb/second bandwidth while USB .0 supports

480Mb/second bandwidth providing a marked improvement in

device transfer speeds between your computer and a wide range of

simultaneously accessible external Plug and Play peripherals.

Desktop Management Interface (DMI)

The mainboard comes with a DMI .0 built into the BIOS. The DMI

utility in the BIOS automatically records various information about

your system configuration and stores these information in the DMI

pool, which is a part of the system board's Plug and Play BIOS.

DMI, along with the appropriately networked software, is designed

to make inventory, maintenance and troubleshooting of computer

systems easier. Refer to chapter 4 for instructions on using the DMI

utility.
