1.7.1.4 DisplayPort*
DisplayPort is a digital communication interface that utilizes differential signaling to
achieve a high bandwidth bus interface designed to support connections between PCs
and monitors, projectors, and TV displays. DisplayPort is suitable for display
connections between consumer electronics devices such as high definition optical disc
players, set top boxes, and TV displays. DisplayPort output can also be converted to
High-Definition Multimedia Interface* (HDMI*) using a DisplayPort-HDMI converter.
DisplayPort’s maximum supported display resolution is 2560 x 1600 at 60 Hz refresh
with a 16:10 aspect ratio (WQXGA). DisplayPort 1.1 adds support for High Bandwidth
Digital Content Protection (HDCP) version 1.3. HDCP support enables viewing of
protected content from Blu-ray Disc* and HD-DVD optical media over DisplayPort 1.1
connections.

1.7.1.5 Analog Display (VGA)
The VGA port supports analog displays. The maximum supported resolution is 2048 x
1536 (QXGA) pixels with 32-bit color at 75 Hz.
The VGA port is enabled for POST whenever a monitor is attached, regardless of the
HDMI and DVI-I connector status.
1.7.2 USB
The board supports up to 14 USB 2.0 ports and two USB 3.0 ports.
The Intel Z68 Express Chipset provides the USB controller for the 2.0 ports. The two
USB 3.0 ports are provided by the NEC* UPD720200 controller. The port arrangement
is as follows:
• Two USB 3.0 ports are implemented with stacked back panel connectors (blue)
• Six USB 2.0 ports are implemented with stacked back panel connectors (black)
• Eight USB 2.0 front panel ports implemented through four internal headers
All 16 USB ports are high-speed, full-speed, and low-speed capable. The USB 3.0 ports
are super-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.
