The motherboard also includes an Agère FireWire controller that provides three ports. Two of these are attached to the rear via an adapter cable, and the third is attached using the FrontX module that is included in the package.

Last but not least, the motherboard also comes with an audio adapter offering coaxial digital output for the sound system.
