Connectors and I/O

Totally Intel equipped the DP67BG with six angled SATA ports which should be enough for an office PC or gaming system. You'll also find practical onboard power- and reset-buttons as well as a debug LED. A debug display is very useful if you should once have issues with one of the components in your system. It is quite common that the last PCI-Express x16 slot is also the expansion slot the closest to the bottom edge of the board. That has the consequence that the connectors at this place aren't accessible anymore. With the DP67BG, Intel took this into account and placed the last PCI-Express x16 slot as the third last expansion slot and therefore there wont be any complications.

  

Totally you'll find four fan headers on the Intel DP67BG which is more than enough, to provide a well equipped midrange or even a high-end-system with fresh air. The fanheaders are located around the CPU and their also spread over the whole board which makes them easily accessible from any position in an enclosure. You'll also find a backlit skull in the bottom right corner of the board which you might know from this boards predecessor. When there is hard drive activity then the eyes will light up red.

  

Looking at external connectors and buttons directly at the back-panel Intel equipped the DP67BG with two USB 3.0/2.0 ports, one Firewire port, one eSATA port, eight SATA2.0/1.1, one gigabit ethernet ports, an optical audio connector and an analogue audio panel as well as a BIOS button.
