Chapter 1 • Power Failure Recovery When power returns after an AC power failure, you may choose to either power-on the system manually or let the system power-on automatically. • USB The system board supports the new USB 3.1 Gen 2. It is capable of running at a maximum transmission speed of up to 10 Gbit/s (1.2 GB/s) and is faster than USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5 Gbit/s, or 625 MB/s), USB 2.0 (480 Mbit/s, or 60 MB/s) and USB 1.1 (12Mb/s).
Chapter 2 Chapter 2 - Hardware Installation Important: Board Layout Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your board, processor, disk drives, add-in boards, and other components. Perform installation procedures at an ESD workstation only. If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD protection by wear- ing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the system chassis.
