A78F2-TI USER MANUAL

The motherboard has one USB 2.0 header supporting two USB 2.0 ports. Addition-
ally, some computer cases have USB 2.0 ports at the front of the case. If you have this
kind of case, use auxiliary USB 2.0 connector to connect the front-mounted ports to
the motherboard.

5. F_USB: Front Panel USB 2.0 header

Please make sure that the USB cable has the same pin assignment as indi-
cated above. A different pin assignment may cause damage or system hang-
up.

SATA1~2 connectors are used to support the Serial ATA 6Gb/s devices. Simpler disk
drive cabling and easier PC assembly. It eliminates limitations of the current Paral-
lel ATA interface. But maintains register compatibility and software compatibility
with Parallel ATA.

3. SATA1~2: Serial ATA 6.0Gb/s connectors
