Installing an ISA Card

1.11

USB

USB is a new serial bus design that is capable of cascading
low-/medium-speed peripherals (less than 12Mbps) such as keyboard,
mouse, joystick, scanner, printer and modem/ISDN.  With USB,
complex cable connections at the back panel of your PC can be
eliminated.

See Figure 1-1 for the location of the USB interface on the system
board.

1.12

Wireless Communication Support

The system supports wireless communication via onboard infrared
interface (see Figure 1-2 for the location of the IrDA connector).  This
feature enables the system to communicate with SIR-aware
peripherals without the aid of cables.

The onboard infrared interface is IrDA-compliant, allowing data
transfer at a rate of 115.2 kilobits per second (Kbps) at a maximum
distance of one meter.
