Step 1

Use the bundled DisplayPort cable to connect the DisplayPort output on a discrete graphics card to the DisplayPort IN port on the motherboard.

Step 2

Use a video-capable USB Type-C® cable to connect a monitor with a USB Type-C® port to the left-hand USB port on the rear of the motherboard.

1. Wi-Fi 6E Antenna
   The antenna has two built-in transmitters and receivers to enable faster transmission speeds, and it supports the 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz bands.

2. Adjustable Design
   Four-way positioning enables better signal reception.

3. Magnetic Base
   A powerful magnetic base secures the antenna on the top or side of the PC case.

Wi-Fi 6E

Onboard Wi-Fi 6E technology takes advantage of the newly available radio spectrum in the 6 GHz band, providing up to three times the bandwidth of the 5 GHz band and up to seven 160 MHz bands to deliver ultrafast wireless networking speeds along with improved capacity and better performance in dense wireless environments.

10 Gb & 2.5 Gb Ethernet

Dual Ethernet ports provide fast data transfers simultaneously for 2.5 Gb internet streaming or uploading and 10 Gb for local network-attached storage (NAS), allowing for improved data organization and security.
