ECS H57H-MUS Motherboard
The Expansion Cards
Contents
ECS H57H-MUS comes with two PCI Express x1 expansion cards, one with one SATA-600 port and one eSATA-600 port, controlled by a Marvell 88SE9128 chip (which supports RAID 0 and 1), and another with two USB 3.0 ports, controlled by a NEC μPD720200 chip. The motherboard comes with a bracket to allow you to install the USB 3.0 card in half-height (slim) cases, but no half-height bracket is provided for the SATA-600 card.
As already explained, even though this motherboard comes with only one PCI Express x1 slot, you can install the second card on the x4 slot or on the x16 slot, at your convenience.
