The mainboard supports up to 6 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 por ts. Refer to your operating systems manual or
documentation.
Two onboard USB ports (CN1 - 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
J17 and J19 connectors on the mainboard allow you to connect 4
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 J17 or J19.
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.
