At the back of the slots are the Dual GbE controllers using Marvell chipsets. Audio is supported by ADI AD2000B HDA. 1394 is by LSI L-FW3227 supporting 2 1394a ports.

The MOSFETS around the CPU socket are cooled down with copper heatsink and heatpipes. beneath it is 4 DIMM supporting a max of 16GB of DDR2-1200/1066/800/667 non ECC unbuffered memory on dual channel architecture.

The board has 6 SATAA II ports that can be configured as RAID 0,1,5,10 via ICH10R. 1 IDE+2 eSATA is controlled by an onboard marvell 88SE6121 controller. A third controler the Silicon image SIL5723 (drive expert technology) controls 2 other SATA II ports, supporting EZ backup and Super Speed (basically raid 0 and raid 1). There are a max of 12 USB ports that can be supported on this board. 6 at the rear and 6 via connectors.
