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 1-2/3-4). The 10-pin
connectors allow you to connect 4 additional USB 2.0 ports (USB 5-6/7-8). 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 chassis and then insert the USB port cables to a connector.
BIOS Setting
Configure these onboard USB devices in the Advanced menu (“USB Configuration” submenu)
of the BIOS. Refer to the chapter 3 for more information.
Driver Installation
You may need to install the proper drivers in your system operation to use the USB device.
