charging capable)
―
Four ports are implemented with external back panel connectors (blue)
―
Two ports are implmented with an internal header (blue)
―
Two ports are implemented with the external black panel Type C connectors
All the USB 3.0 ports are super-speed, high-speed, full-speed, and low-speed capable.
•
USB 2.0 ports (maximum current is 500 mA for each port of the white header (1 A total):

NOTE
Computer systems that have an unshielded cable attached to a USB port may not meet FCC
Class B requirements, even if no device is attached to the cable. Use a shielded cable that meets
the requirements for full-speed devices.
NOTE
The yellow USB charging port can be set in the BIOS to “Charging Only.” However this affects only
USB 2.0 devices and transfers and does not affect USB 3.0 devices and transfers.
