Product Description
1.2 Legacy Considerations
This board differs from other Intel® Desktop Board products, with specific changes
including (but not limited to) the following:
• No parallel port
• No serial port on the back panel
• The serial port header is located near the memory sockets and may require a
specialized chassis or cabling solution to use
