2.7.6 USB Ports
The system board is equipped with a header at location J11 on the
system board, for external USB ports. USB allows data exchange
between your computer and a wide range of simultaneously
accessible external Plug and Play peripherals.
You must have the proper drivers installed in your operating system
to use these ports. Refer to your operating systems manual or
documentation.
Connecting the USB Ports
As an option, one card-edge bracket mounted with two USB port
cables may be provided with the system board. The ends of the
cables are attached to a connector. Connect the USB cable
connector to J11 on the system board. The USB port cables can be
inserted only if pin 1 of the cable (red wire) is aligned with pin 1 of
J11. Pin 9 of J11 has been removed and the hole in the USB cable
connector, which corresponds to pin 9, has been plugged to prevent
incorrectly inserting the connector. Mount the card-edge bracket to
the system chassis.
