The LAN subsystem includes:
•
Intel 82578DC Gigabit (10/100/1000 Mb/s) Ethernet LAN controller
•
RJ-45 LAN connector with integrated status LEDs

USB 2.0 Support
The board supports up to fourteen USB 2.0 ports provided by two EHCI host
controllers in the Intel H57 PCH that allow the use of EHCI-compatible drivers.
The port arrangement is as follows:
•
Six ports via stacked back panel connectors
•
Eight front panel ports via four dual-port onboard headers
USB 2.0 support requires both an operating system and drivers that fully support
USB 2.0 transfer rates.
