1.7  PCI Express* Connector 
The board provides one PCI Express x16 connector supporting simultaneous transfer speeds up to 
8 GBytes/sec. 
The PCI Express interface supports the PCI Conventional bus configuration mechanism so that the 
underlying PCI Express architecture is compatible with PCI Conventional compliant operating 
systems.  Additional features of the PCI Express interface include the following: 
•  Support for the PCI Express enhanced configuration mechanism 
•  Automatic discovery, link training, and initialization 
•  Support for Active State Power Management (ASPM) 
•  SMBus 2.0 support 
•  Wake# signal supporting wake events from ACPI S1, S3, S4, or S5 
•  Software compatible with the PCI Power Management Event (PME) mechanism defined in the 
PCI Power Management Specification Rev. 1.1  
 CAUTION 
The PCI Express x16 connector on this board is intended for use with a PCI Express x16 riser card 
only.  Do not plug a PCI Express x16 add-in card into this connector.  Doing so could damage both 
the PCI Express x16 add-in card and the connector. 
1.8  IEEE-1394a Connector (Optional) 
The optional IEEE-1394a interface addresses interconnection of both computer peripherals and 
consumer electronics.  The IEEE-1394a interface provides a throughput ranging from 
100 Mbits/sec to 400 Mbits/sec.  As a manufacturing option, the board includes one IEEE-1394a 
front-panel connector.
