Hardware Installation
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 system’s manual or documentation.
Two onboard USB ports (CN7 - 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
J15 connector on the system board allows you to connect 2 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 J15.
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.
The system board supports the Wake-On-USB Keyboard function.
This function allows you to use a USB keyboard to wake up a
system that is in the S3 (STR - Suspend To RAM) state. If you want
to use this function, you must set jumper JP2 or JP7 pins 2 and 3 to
On and set “USB KB Wake Up From S3” in the Power Management
Setup submenu of the BIOS to Enabled. Refer to “Jumper Settings
for Wake-On-USB Keyboard” in chapter 2 and “USB KB Wake-Up
From S3” in the Power Management Setup section in chapter 3 for
more information.
