On the top right corner, we can see the 24 pin + 4pin power connectors. Beneath it is the CPU socket.

The board supports four 240-pin unbuffered non-ECC DDR II SDRAM DIMM sockets with up to 8GB of memory can be installed on board. For AM2 processors, DDR2-533/667/800 is supported. For Phenom AM2+, memory supported is DDR2-667/800/1066. It also support Asynchronous clocking mode between FSB and DIMM.

The new SB700 supports ten USB connectors compliant with USB2.0 from embedded USB controller (6 connectors at rear panel). The SB700 also supports a P-ATA IDE for One IDE ports (up to 2 IDE devices) with UDMA-33, ATA-66/100/133 support from embedded IDE controller. It also support 6 SATA RAID II ports with up to 300MB/s from chipset with RAID 0,1,0+1 support. 
 

At the rear panel are PS/2 keyboard connector. There is a D-SUB, DVI port. A converter is provided that allows it to connect HDMI devices via the DVI connector. There are 6 USB ports, 1394 and GbE port. Next to it is the audio ports. In order to use the display port connector, the add on card must be attached to the mainboard.
