CoM Connector : CoM1

This motherboard supports one serial RS232 COM port for
legacy compatibility. User must purchase another RS232
cable with a 9-pin D-sub connector at one end to connect
with the external RS232 device and another end with 10-
pin female connector to connect with COM1 connector in
the motherboard.

1394a Connector : f_1394 (only for Cinema Deluxe)

The 1394a expansion cable can be connected to either

the front (provided that the front panel of your chassis is
equipped with the appropriate interface) or real panel of
the chassis.

IrDA Connector : IR

This connector supports infrared wireless transmitting and
receiving device.

USb Connectors : f_USb1/2/3

In  addition  to  the  six  USB  ports  on  the  rear  panel,  this
product  also  provides  three  10-pin  USB  headers  on  its
