Desktop Board Features USB Support The Desktop Board supports USB 3.0 and USB 2.0. USB 3.0 is supported via two USB 3.0 ports (blue) on the back panel. USB 3.0 ports are backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices. The USB 3.0 ports are SuperSpeed, high-speed, fullspeed, and low-speed capable. USB 3.0 support requires both an operating system and drivers that fully support USB 3.0 transfer rates. There are 10 USB 2.0 ports (four ports routed to back panel connectors (black) and six ports routed to three onboard headers). The USB 2.0 ports are high-speed, full-speed, and low-speed capable. USB 2.0 support requires both an operating system and drivers that fully support USB 2.0 transfer rates. 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. SATA Support The board provides six SATA channels, through the PCH, which support one device per channel: • Two internal SATA 6.0 Gb/s connectors (blue) • Two internal SATA 3.0 Gb/s connectors (black) • Two external SATA (eSATA) 3.0 Gb/s connectors (red) on the back panel for external connections 19
