low-/medium-speed peripherals (less than 12 Mbps) such as a keyboard, mouse,
joystick, scanner, printer and modem/ISDN. With USB, complex cable
connections at the back panel of your PC can be eliminated.
The board comes with two USB ports (CN2). See Figure 2-1 or Figure 2-2 for the

Hardware Monitoring Function
The Hardware Monitoring function allows you to check the system resources,
either locally or in a computer network, by using software such as Intel LDCM
(LAN Desk Client Manager). Intel LDCM is a desktop management program that
offers the SMART (System Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology)
monitor function for checking local or network connected systems. In addition, it
also enables the PC products and applications to be OS (operating system)
independent.
To enable the Hardware Monitoring function, you need to install Intel LDCM.
Contact your dealer for information on the availability of the software. Refer to the
software documentation for more details on the Hardware Monitoring function.
