Highly Convenient Integrated I/O Connectors

This mainboard features an integrated rear I/O panel that incorporates a full set of
I/O ports to allow simple and convenient connections to a complete selection of
external peripheral devices. It supports state-of-the-art USB technology which
provides high-speed and easy-to-use Plug & Play connections to the future
generation of external peripherals, such as keyboards, mouse, monitors, game
devices, scanners, printers, and fax/modems.
USB overcomes conventional I/O bottlenecks by combining the I/O ports into a
single dual-channel connector that supports up to 120 devices. For optimum ease of
use and flexibility, USB not only allows the automatic detection and configuration
of peripherals after installation, but also enables the simultaneous connection of up
to 63 devices.
This mainboard comes with either an onboard USB port (for the exact location see
page 42 of chapter 2) or an optional USB connector bracket that is connected by a
cable to the onboard USB pinhead. The bracket can be installed in one of the I/O
expansion slots on the rear panel of the system. It provides fast and convenient Plug
and Play peripheral connections outside the computer, allowing you to take full
advantage of the universal functionality and flexibility of USB technology.
