The Motherboard is equipped with Dual Realtek RTL8111B chipset that is fully
compliant with the PCI 10/100/1000 Mbits/s Ethernet protocol compatible. It is
supported by major network operating systems. The Ethernet ports provide two
standard RJ-45 jacks.

2.3.6. USB ports
The Motherboards supports up to eight USB 2.0 ports (two ports routed to the front
side of the box; four ports routed to the rear side of the box; and there are additional
two internal USB 2.0 pin headers on the Motherboard). The USB 2.0 ports are
backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices. USB 1.1 devices will function normally
at USB 1.1 speeds. USB 2.0 support requires both an operating system and drivers
that fully support USB 2.0 transfer rates. Disabling Hi-Speed USB in the BIOS revert
all USB 2.0 ports to USB 1.1 operation. This may be required to accommodate
operating systems that do not support USB 2.0.
Eight USB devices (four with pin headers) may be connected to the system through an
adapter cable. Various adapters may come with the USB ports. USB usually connect
the external system to the Motherboard’s internal system. The USB ports support hot
plug-in connection function. However, you should install the device driver program
before you use the device.
