Hardware Installation

The system board supports 4 USB ports. USB allows data exchange
between your computer and a wide range of simultaneously
accessible external Plug and Play peripherals. You must have the
proper drivers installed in your operating system to use the USB
ports. Refer to your operating systems manual or documentation.
Two onboard USB ports (J8 - Black) are located at the ATX double
deck ports of the board.
Depending on the type of USB port cable that you are using, the
J15 connector on the system board allows you to connect 2 more
optional USB ports. These optional USB ports, which are mounted
on a card-edge bracket, will be provided as an option. If you wish to
use the optional USB ports, install the card-edge bracket to the
system chassis then insert the connector that is attached to the USB
port cables to J15.
Insert the USB port cable connector to pins 1-10 if:
One of the holes on the cable connector is plugged, meaning the
cable connector has a keying mechanism.
Insert the USB port cable connector to pins 6-15 if:
None of the holes on the cable connector is plugged, meaning
the cable connector has no keying mechanism.
