Hardware Setup
The standard PS/2®mouse/keyboard DIN connector is for a PS/2®
mouse/keyboard.
The DVI-I (Digital Visual Interface-Integrated) connector allows you to
connect an LCD monitor. It provides a high-speed digital interconnection
between the computer and its display device. To connect an LCD monitor,
simply plug your monitor cable into the DVI connector, and make sure that
the other end of the cable is properly connected to your monitor (refer to
your monitor manual for more information.)
DisplayPort is a digital display interface standard. This connector is used
to connect a monitor with DisplayPort inputs.
The USB (Universal Serial Bus) port is for attaching USB devices such as
keyboard, mouse, or other USB-compatible devices.
USB 3.0 port is backward-compatible with USB 2.0 devices. Supports
data transfer rate up to 5 Gbit/s (SuperSpeed).

Serial ATA Connector: SATA1 ~ SATA4
This connector is a high-speed Serial ATA interface port. Each connector
can connect to one Serial ATA device.
Important
Please do not fold the Serial ATA cable into 90-degree angle. Otherwise,
data loss may occur during transmission.
The fan power connectors support system cooling fan with +12V. When
connecting the wire to the connectors, always note that the red wire is the
positive and should be connected to the +12V; the black wire is Ground
and should be connected to GND. If the mainboard has a System Hard-
ware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a specially designed fan
with speed sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan control.
