NOTE
Intel recommends connecting USB keyboard and mouse devices to USB 2.0 ports
(black). Operating system installation may be interrupted if keyboard and mouse
devices are connected to the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports (blue) due to the lack of
native USB 3.0 driver support from the operating system. The device driver for the
USB 3.0 host controller must be installed from the included Intel Express Installer
Driver and Software DVD before it can be operational in the operating system.
