Input/Output Interfaces

5.7Universal Serial Bus Interface

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface provides asynchronous/isochronous data transfers with compatible peripherals such as keyboards, printers, or modems. This high-speed interface supports hot-plugging of compatible devices, making possible system configuration changes without powering down or even rebooting systems.

These systems provide eight externally-accessible USB ports, two front panel USB ports (which may be disabled) and six USB ports on the rear panel. In addition, twe USB ports are available through an internal header (The USB ports are dynamically configured to either a USB 1.1 controller or the USB 2.0 controller depending on the capability of the peripheral device. The

1.1controllers provide a maximum transfer rate of 12 Mb/s while the 2.0 controller provides a maximum transfer rate of 480 Mb/s. Table 5-6 shows the mapping of the USB ports.
