2Hardware Installation

The mainboard is equipped with two onboard USB 2.0 (compliant with USB 1.1) ports (CN1 - Black) located at the ATX double deck ports of the board.

The system board is also equipped with J13 for connecting 2 additional external USB 2.0/1.1 ports. The USB 2.0/1.1 ports, which are mounted on a card-edge bracket, will be provided as an option. If you wish to use the optional USB 2.0/1.1 ports, install the card- edge bracket to the system chassis then insert the connector that is attached to the USB 2.0/1.1 port cables to J13. The USB ports’ cable connector can be inserted only if pin 1 of the connector is aligned with pin 1 of J13. Now connect the interface cable connector of your USB 2.0/1.1 device to the USB 2.0/1.1 port that is on the bracket.

You can enable or disable the USB ports in the Integrated Peripher- als submenu (“OnChip USB Controller” field) of the BIOS.

The Wake-On-USB Keyboard/Mouse function allows you to use a USB keyboard or USB mouse to wake up a system from the S3 (STR - Suspend To RAM) state.

To use this function:

“USB Resume from S3” (“IRQ/Event Activity Detect” field) in the Power Management Setup submenu of the BIOS must be set to Enabled. Refer to chapter 3 for more information.
