- F_usb1 2 front panel usb 2 headers 27
- Installing the motherboard 27
- Please make sure that the usb cable has the same pin assignment as indicated above a different pin assignment may cause damage or sys tem hang up 27
- The motherboard has two usb 2 headers supporting 4 usb 2 ports additionally some computer cases have usb 2 ports at the front of the case if you have this kind of case use auxiliary usb 2 connector to connect the front mounted ports to the motherboard 27
- This connector is used to support the external serial ata devices for the highest data transfer rates 6gb s simpler disk drive cabling and easier pc assembly it doubles the transfer rate of current sata 3gb s interface 27
- Unlike f_usb2 in this mainboard f_usb1 supports ez charger technology pro vides 3 times current than general usb port in off mode for usb devices it is useful and excellent especially for the iphone ipad and ipod touch devices that need a large amount of current for faster recharging within less time 27

- Reset switch 36
- Supporting the power on off function requires connecting pins 6 and 8 to a momen tary contact switch that is normally open the switch should maintain contact for at least 50 ms to signal the power supply to switch on or off the time requirement is due to internal de bounce circuitry after receiving a power on off signal at least two seconds elapses before the power supply recognizes another on off signal 36
- Supporting the reset function requires connecting pin 5 and 7 to a momentary contact switch that is normally open when the switch is closed the board resets and runs post 36
- The front panel header f_panel provides a standard set of switch and led headers commonly found on atx or micro atx cases refer to the table below for information 36
- This concludes chapter 2 the next chapter covers the bios 36
