USB 3

Four onboard USB 2.0/1.1 ports (Black) are at locations CN12
(USB 1-2) and CN11 (USB 3-4) of the system board.

J24 (USB 5-6) and J29 (USB 7-8) connectors allow you to connect
4 additional USB 2.0/1.1 ports. The USB ports may be mounted on
a card-edge bracket. Install the card-edge bracket to the system
chassis then insert the connector that is attached to the USB port
cables to J24 or J29.

BIOS Setting

Configure the onboard USB in the Integrated Peripherals submenu
(“Onboard Device” section) of the BIOS. Refer to chapter 3 for
