Hardware Installation

2.7.6 USB Ports

The system board is equipped with a header at location J11 on the system board, for external USB ports. USB allows data exchange between your computer and a wide range of simultaneously accessible external Plug and Play peripherals.

You must have the proper drivers installed in your operating system to use these ports. Refer to your operating system’s manual or documentation.

Connecting the USB Ports

As an option, one card-edge bracket mounted with two USB port cables may be provided with the system board. The ends of the cables are attached to a connector. Connect the USB cable connector to J11 on the system board. The USB port cables can be inserted only if pin 1 of the cable (red wire) is aligned with pin 1 of J11. Pin 9 of J11 has been removed and the hole in the USB cable connector, which corresponds to pin 9, has been plugged to prevent incorrectly inserting the connector. Mount the card-edge bracket to the system chassis.
