4. F_USB1~3: Front Panel USB 2.0 headers
The motherboard has three USB 2.0 headers supporting six USB 2.0 ports. Addition-
ally, some computer cases have USB 2.0 ports at the front of the case. If you have this
kind of case, use auxiliary USB 2.0 connector to connect the front-mounted ports to
the motherboard.
F_USB1 supports EZ Charger technology, provides 3 times current than general USB
2.0 port in off mode for USB devices. It is useful and excellent, especially for the
iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices that need a large amount of current for faster
recharging within less time.
Please make sure that the USB cable has the same pin assignment as indi-
cated above. A different pin assignment may cause damage or system hang-
up.
5. COM: Onboard serial port header
Connect a serial port extension bracket to this header to add a serial port to your
system.
