U
IEEE1394 Firewire connector
These connectors allow you to attach IEEE 1394 connectors or
devices to the motherboard. The lay-out can be found in the IEEE
1394 (Firewire) Connector (FW1/FW2) paragraph on page 40.

V
SATA Connectors
These connectors allow you to attach one UDMA 150 hard disk to
each connector. SATA1/2 are controlled by VIA VT8237 chip, and
SATA 3/4 are controlled by the ALi M5281 chip, and SATA1~4 all
can support RAID 0 and 1. For more information on these
connectors check the A. IDE Device Installation (HDD,
CD-ROM) paragraph on page 25.

VIA VT6307 IEEE 1394 Firewire controller
The VIA Fire II VT6307 provides direct connectivity between the
PCI and 1394 serial buses. With three ports, the VIA Fire II
VT6307 is designed to provide scalability and manageability in
IEEE 1394 network solutions for home networking and multiple
PC access to a single internet connection. Each individual port
detects connected device types and automatically configures data
speeds to either 100, 200 or 400 Mbps, speeds well suited to
multi-streaming I/O requirements. A programmable PCI power
management mode (specification 1.1) shuts down power to
unconnected ports while the sleep function maximizes power
efficiency of connected ports.
