• 6-channel (5.1) audio with independent multi-streaming stereo
• Advanced jack sense for the back panel audio connectors that enables the audio
codec to recognize the device that is connected to an audio port. The back panel
audio connectors are capable of retasking according to the user’s definition, or can
be automatically switched depending on the recognized device type.
• Stereo input and output via back panel connectors
• Headphone and Mic in functions for front panel audio connectors
• A signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio of 90 dB
The board provides onboard audio headers and back panel connectors.
The onboard audio headers include the following:
• Front panel (a 2 x 5 pin header that provides headphone and mic in signals for
front panel audio connectors)
• S/PDIF out header (1 x 4 pin header)
• Internal mono speaker (1 x 2 pin header)
Front panel headphone output is supported by a separate audio channel pair, allowing
multi-streaming audio configurations such as simultaneous 6-channel (5.1) surround
sound playback and stereo audio conferencing (through speakers connected to the
back panel audio connectors and a headset connected to front panel audio
connectors).
The onboard internal mono speaker header allows connection to an internal, low-
power speaker for basic system sound capability. The subsystem is capable of driving
a speaker load of 8 Ω at 1 W (rms) or 4 Ω at 1.5 W (rms).
The onboard S/PDIF header allows connection to coaxial or optical adapters for digital
audio output.
The back panel audio connectors are configurable through the audio device drivers.

USB 2.0 Support
The board supports up to 12 USB 2.0 ports provided by two EHCI host controllers in
the PCH that allow the use of EHCI-compatible drivers.
The port arrangement is as follows:
• Four back panel connectors
• Eight front panel ports implemented as four dual-port internal headers. One of the
internal headers supports an Intel Z-U130 USB Solid-state Drive or compatible
device.
USB 2.0 support requires both an operating system and drivers that fully support
USB 2.0 transfer rates.
SATA Support
The board provides four SATA connectors through the PCH, which support one device

transfer rate of 3 Gb/s per port. A point-to-point interface is used for computer to
storage device connections.
SATA RAID
The Intel Q57 PCH supports Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) which
enables the following RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Drives) levels:
• RAID 0 - data striping
• RAID 1 - data mirroring
• RAID 0+1 (or RAID 10) - data striping and mirroring
• RAID 5 - distributed parity
Intel® Rapid Recover Technology (Intel® RRT)
The board incorporates Intel® Rapid Recover Technology (Intel® RRT). Intel RRT is a
feature of Intel RST. Intel RRT uses RAID 1 (mirroring) functionality to copy data from
a designated master drive to a designated recovery drive. The master drive data can
be copied to the recovery drive either continuously or on request.
When using the continuous update policy, changes made to the data on the master
drive while the recovery drive is disconnected or offline are automatically copied to the
recovery drive when it is reconnected. When using the on request update policy, the
master drive data can be restored to a previous state by copying the data on the
recovery drive back to the master drive.

your computer. You do not need to run the BIOS Setup program after installing a
SATA device. You can override the auto-configuration options by specifying manual
configuration in the BIOS Setup program.
PCI*/PCI Express Auto Configuration
If you install a PCI or PCI Express add-in card in your computer, the PCI/PCI Express
auto-configuration utility in the BIOS automatically detects and configures the
resources (IRQs, DMA channels, and I/O space) for that add-in card. You do not need
to run the BIOS Setup program after you install a PCI or PCI Express add-in card.
