ECS P45T-A (Intel P45)
Expansion options
ECS P45T-A uses the ICH10R south bridge with a radiator. Therefore, the board supports six SerialATA II ports (yellow connectors) and allows merging hard disks into RAID arrays of levels 0,1,5, and 10.
Besides, one more SerialATA II device can be plugged in to JMB361 controller made by JMicron. The same chip provides support for an additional ParallelATA line.
Therefore, as many as 9 hard disks (7 SATA II + 2 PATA) altogether can be plugged in to ECS P45T-A. Then, the board offers 12 USB 2.0 ports. Six of them are fitted on the rear panel, with 6 more plugged in with brackets (missing in the package bundle).
Then, ECS P45T-A offers integrated 8-channel Intel High Definition Audio, with the ALC 883 chip used as the codec.
Now a few words on the network support: the board uses a L1 (Gigabit Ethernet) LAN controller made by Altheros.
The board's rear panel has the following configuration.
This is an almost standard scheme of connectors; missing only is the LPT port, and instead of the second COM port there is an eSATA port.
Besides, there is a couple of buttons to start up and reset the system on ECS P45T-A:
Now on to the BIOS settings.
