•Due to USB 3.0 controller limitation, USB 3.0 devices can only be used under

Windows® OS environment and after the USB 3.0 driver installation.

•USB 3.0 devices can only be used as data storage only.

•We strongly recommend that you connect USB 3.0 devices to USB 3.0 ports for faster and better performance for your USB 3.0 devices.

•Due to the design of the Intel® 8 series chipset, all USB devices connected to the USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports are controlled by the xHCI controller. Some legacy USB devices must update their firmware for better compatibility.

•Multi-VGA output supports up to three displays under Windows® OS environment, two displays under BIOS, and one display under DOS.
