+5 D- D+ GND (No_connect)
USB56 X X X X X <---- Top five pins goes to one
X X X X USB interface. Last pin
has no connection, leaving
four pins used.
USB56 X X X X X
X X X X <---- Bottom has four pins and
+5 D- D+ GND is keyed by the missing pin
It forms the second interface.
USB56 is near the bottom of the board, near the center. It contains
two USB interfaces.
USBPW56 sits right above it. It is a 1x3 header. Placing the jumper
on the left hand position, powers the USB56 from +5V. Placing
the jumper on the right hand position, powers the USB56 from +5VSB.
Using +5VSB is suitable for USB devices used to wake the computer
from sleep. Otherwise, use the left hand position for the jumper,
to save wear and tear on the PSU. The left hand position is the
default from the factory.
If attempting to use USB2 rates, make sure the cabling is rated for
USB2 operation. Many computer cases have USB 1.1 only cabling for
the front connectors, and the case manufacturers do that on purpose
to save a few pennies.
