CAUTION
Only the back panel USB, front panel USB, VGA, and PS/2 connectors of the Desktop Boards
D845GEBV2 and D845GERG2 have overcurrent protection. The Desktop Boards’ internal
connectors are not overcurrent protected and should connect only to devices inside the computer’s
chassis, such as fans and internal peripherals. Do not use these connectors to power devices
external to the computer’s chassis. A fault in the load presented by the external devices could
cause damage to the computer, the interconnecting cable, and the external devices themselves.
