Chapter 1: Product introduction

Chapter 1

DO NOT connect a 1394 cable to the USB connectors. Doing so will damage the 
motherboard!

You can connect the front panel USB cable to the ASUS Q-Connector (USB) first, and then 

install the Q-Connector (USB) to the USB connector onboard if your chassis supports front 
panel USB ports.

The USB 2.0 module is purchased separately.

5. 

USB 2.0 connectors (10-1 pin USB1112; US1314)

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 

48 Mb/s connection speed.
