ASUS M3N-HT Deluxe Mempipe supports 6 SerialATA-II links. The matching connectors are positioned near the nForce 200 "bridge" and are aimed in parallel to the board's plane.
Also on the board there is the additional RAID controller 88SE6111 made by Marvell. The same chip supports one more Serial ATA II link, with the respective port brought over to the rear panel. In the end, as many as nine hard disks can be plugged in to ASUS M3N-HT Deluxe Mempipe: seven - over the SerialATA II, with 2 via the ParallelATA.
Then, the board uses an Atheros Attansic F1 Gigabit LAN controller:
The board supports ten USB 2.0 ports, four of which are positioned on the rear panel, with 6 more plugged in via brackets (the board comes bundled with a bracket for two ports). Besides, the board offers support for the Firewire bus. For that, there is an additional FW3227 controller made by LSI. In the end, the board supports two IEEE1394 ports, with both of them plugged in with brackets (the board comes bundled with one bracket for one port).
The last thing to dwell on is the integrated High Definition Audio. The ADI 1988B chip is used as the codec which supports output for 8 channels.
The board's rear panel looks like this:
You can notice see a complete lack of LPT and COM ports. Instead of them, there are video outputs of the integrated graphic core (VGA and HDMI). We also note the optical and coaxial SP-DIF outputs as well as one SerialATA II port. Owners of the outdated hardware can make use of one COM port with a bracket. However, you would have to look for it at shops because it is missing in the package bundle.
