Ethernet cable, which is used in 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX networks. The network interface controller (NIC) provides all the

USB Connectors

Your system contains two Universal Serial Bus (USB) connectors for attaching USB-compliant devices. USB devices are typically
peripherals such as keyboards, mice, printers, and computer speakers.

CAUTION:

Do not attach a USB device or a combination of USB devices that draw a maximum current over 500

milliamperes (mA) per channel at +5 volts (V). Attaching devices that exceed this threshold may cause the USB
ports to shut down. See the documentation that accompanied the USB devices for their maximum current ratings.

If you reconfigure your hardware, you may need pin number and signal information for the USB connectors. Figure B-9 illustrates
the pin numbers for the USB connectors, and Table B-8 lists and defines the pin assignments and interface signals for the USB
connectors.
