The system board supports 4 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
ports. Refer to your operating systems manual or documentation.
Two onboard USB ports (J2 - Black) are located at the ATX double
deck ports of the board. The J17 connector on the system board
allows you to connect the optional 3rd and 4th 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 3rd and
4th 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. The USB ports cable connector can be inserted only if pin 1 of
the cable is aligned with pin 1 of J17.
