(Which was cr@p.
Turbo mode was actually normal, while normal was slower)
Example B)
Front panel USB ports. (Connectors)
JUSB1 and JUSB2.
EACH USB header supports TWO USB ports.
Look at the pinout on Page 40.
VCC, USB4-, USB4+, and Ground; is one USB connector. (port)
VCC, USB5-, USB5+, and Ground; is a second USB connector. (port)
Note the USB4-, and USB4+; and the USB5-, and USB5+
Now look at a USB pinout. Male and Female,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinout#USB_pinoutVCC = +5 Volt
USB4- and USB5- = -Data
USB4+ and USB5+ = +Data
GND is Ground.
You can have 4 USB ports in the Front Panel, or add extra ones to the rear panel. (I/O area)
ONE of those USB headers; JUSB1 or JUSB2; can be used for a Card Reader.
A Card Reader has Two USB cables, and uses One USB header on the motherboard.
Which one? Junction USB1, or Junction USB2?
Pick one.
Doesn't matter.
BIOS will set an IRQ for it.
