1.6 USB

The USB port arrangement is as follows:

• USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) Type C port implemented via the external back panel Type C

connector (maximum current is 3A)

• USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) Type A ports (maximum current is 900 mA for each blue port, 1.5 A

for the orange charging port):

― Two ports are implemented with external front panel connectors (one blue and one

orange charging capable)

― Two ports are implemented with external back panel connectors (blue)

• USB 2.0 ports (maximum current is 500 mA for each port of the white header (1 A total):

― Two ports via two single-port internal 1x4 1.25 mm pitch headers (white)

― One port is reserved for the M.2 2230 Wireless module

All the USB ports are high-speed, full-speed, and low-speed capable.

NOTE

Computer systems that have an unshielded cable attached to a USB port may not meet FCC

Class B requirements, even if no device is attached to the cable. Use a shielded cable that meets

the requirements for full-speed devices.

1.7 SATA Interface

The board provides the following SATA interfaces:

• SATA ports:

― One SATA 6.0 Gbps port for 2.5” storage device

• One SATA 6.0 Gbps port is reserved for an M.2 storage module supporting M.2 2242 and

M.2 2280 (key type M and B+M) modules

The PCH provides independent SATA ports with a theoretical maximum transfer rate of 6 Gbps. A

point-to-point interface is used for host to device connections.
