Expansion options
XFX N780-ISH9 supports six SerialATA-II links. The matching connectors are colored black, positioned near the south bridge and are orientated in parallel to the board's plane.
Then, on the board there are two Gigabit LAN controllers 88E1116 made by Marvell:
The board supports ten USB 2.0 ports, six of which are positioned on the rear panel, with 4 more plugged in via brackets (the board comes bundled with a bracket for four ports). Besides, the board offers support for the Firewire bus. To this end, there is an additional TSB43AB22A controller on the board. Therefore, the board offers support for two IEEE1394 ports: one on the rear panel, with the other one connected with a plate (available in the package bundle).
The last thing to dwell on is the integrated High Definition Audio. The ALC888S chip is used as the codec, which supports output to 8 channels.
The board's rear panel looks like this:
You can notice see a complete lack of LPT and COM ports. In the end, most part of the rear panel is not used up. We note there is an optical SP-DIF output, a Firewire port.
On the board, there is a 7-stage POST indicator (all the codes are described in the user's manual) with which the user can perform the primary diagnostic and localize a problem.
Besides, there is a couple of buttons to start up and reset the system.
Now on to the BIOS settings.
