3.3.8 Parallel port connector (LPT)
The connector for the multi-mode parallel port is a 25-pin D-Sub connector located on the back panel.
It is used for printers, or other parallel devices. Simply connect the parallel cable connector from the
parallel port to your parallel devices.
3.3.9 Universal Serial Bus (USB)
The USB is suitable for mid-to-low speed devices such as mice, keyboards, joysticks, etc. In the past,
all of these devices used different connectors, and it was difficult for end users to install the system.
With USB technology, the various types of ports are replaced with a single connection, from which
you can connect dozens of USB-compatible devices. Simply connect a hub into the USB port, and
then plug all of your USB peripherals into the hub. The system is ready to go!
The BD100 Plus motherboard supports the following USB features:
Self-identifying, hot pluggable peripherals
Support of isochronous and asynchronous transfer type
Supports a maximum of 127 physical devices
Supports data transfer rate up to 12 Mbit/sec
The BD100 Plus motherboard has two USB ports; any USB peripheral can be connected to either port.
For more than two USB devices, connect a hub to either port.

cord into this connector.)
3.3.12 System fan headers (FAN2 and FAN3)
The system’s airflow is critical for its reliability. To generate airflow within a system, ensure you
have the proper size and number of fans (and vents), and position each fan properly in relation to the
system’s components. Most systems are equipped with at least one fan. However, the user may have
to purchase additional (secondary) fans in order to take advantage of this function.
The BD100 Plus motherboard supports two extra system fan headers: FAN2 and FAN3. Connect the
power cable from the FAN2/3 header to each additional fan used within your system. These fans
automatically stop when the system enters the suspend mode.
