Expanding the System

Because there are only four USB connectors on the rear panel of the system. To add more USB
devices to your system, you can install an optional "expander" box or an USB hub for system
expansion. The functionality of the system can be upgraded with the optional "expander" which
allows users to achieve outstanding expandability. The "expander" is designed to enhance
the scalability and modularity of the system. It offers the expansion space for two 5-1/4" disc
drives and two USB ports. One of its 5-1/4 disc drive space can accommodate two 3-1/2" disc
drives. The expander also greatly enhances the system expansion fl exibility.
For example, the system can add an expander to incorporate CD/DVD copy function. It can
also be used to accommodate hard disc drives, audio amplifi er, speakers, online power supply,
or cooling equipment. An expander can be daisy-chained to another expander, and the second
expander can be connected to a third expander, etc.
