The MXE-5300 provides two Type A USB 3.0 ports on the front
panel. Based on the TI TUSB7320RKM USB host controller, con-
nection to the host system is achieved through a PCIe x1 Gen2
interface, supporting SuperSpeed, Hi-Speed, full-speed, and low-
speed transmission for the downstream USB 3.0 ports.

The MXE-5300 supports multiple boot devices, including USB
flash, USB external HD, and USB CD-ROM drives. Boot priority
and device can be configured in BIOS.

The MXE-5300 is equipped with a type II push-push CFast host
connector on the front panel, connecting to the host controller by
SATA interface. Data transfer rates up to 3.0Gb/s(300MB/s)/
1.5Gb/s(150MB/s) are supported. The host SATA controller pro-
vides a legacy operating mode using I/O space, and an AHCI
operating mode using memory space. The CFast card can func-
tion as a storage device for system installation.

NOTE:

NOTE:

While the USB 3.0 ports allow boot from CD-ROM, OS
installation via CD-ROM is not supported.
