5. USB connectors (10-1 pin USB 78, USB 910)

These connectors are for USB 2.0 ports. Connect the USB module cable

to any of these connectors, then install the module to a slot opening at the

back of the system chassis. These USB connectors comply with USB 2.0

specification that supports up to 480 Mbps connection speed.

Never connect a 1394 cable to the USB connectors. Doing so will damage the

motherboard!

6. IEEE 1394a port connector (10-1 pin IE1394_2)

This connector is for an IEEE 1394a port. Connect the IEEE 1394a module

cable to this connector, then install the module to a slot opening at the back

of the system chassis.

If your chassis suppots front panel USB ports, you can attach a front panel

USB cable to these connectors. Connect the USB cable to ASUS Q-Connector

(USB, blue) first, and then install the Q-Connector (USB) to the USB connector

onboard.
