Installing the Motherboard

USB3/USB4: Front Panel USB headers

The motherboard has four USB ports installed on the rear edge I/O port array. Additionally,

some computer cases have USB ports at the front of the case. If you have this kind of case,

use auxiliary USB connectors to connect the front-mounted ports to the motherboard.

Please make sure that the USB cable has the same pin assignment as

indicated above. A different pin assignment may cause damage or system

hang-up.

SPDIFO1: SPDIF out header

This is an optional header that provides an S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) output

to digital multimedia device through optical fiber or coaxial connector.

SATA1/SATA2: Serial ATA connectors

These connectors are use to support the new Serial ATA devices for the highest date transfer

rates (150 MB/s), simpler disk drive cabling and easier PC assembly. It eliminates limitations

of the current Parallel ATA interface. But maintains register compatibility and software

compatibility with Parallel ATA.
