USB Ports
The USB device allows data exchange between your computer and a wide range of simultane-
ously accessible external Plug and Play peripherals.
The system board is equipped with four onboard USB 3.0 ports (USB 1-2/USB 3-4) and two
onboard USB 2.0 ports (USB 4-5). The 10-pin connectors allows you to connect 4 additional
USB 2.0/1.1 ports (USB 2-3/USB 10-11) and the vertical USB connector is designed to connect
1 external USB 2.0/1.1 port (USB 8). The additional USB ports may be mounted on a card-
edge bracket. Install the card-edge bracket to an available slot at the rear of the system chas-
sis and then insert the USB port cables to a connector.

of the BIOS. Refer to the chapter 3 for more information.
