USB 2.0 connectivity
The P4S800-MX rear panel is equipped with four (4) Universal Serial Bus (USB)
ports to connect USB 2.0 devices. A USB header is also available at mid-board to
accommodate a USB module for two (2) additional USB ports. The USB ports and
header comply with USB 2.0 specification that supports up to 480 Mbps connection
speed. This speed advantage over the conventional USB 1.1 (12 Mbps) allows
faster Internet connection, interactive gaming, and simultaneous running of
high-speed peripherals. USB 2.0 is backward compatible with USB 1.1.
