“Rear port plugins on the io shiled, do they require any extra cable connections on the motherboard? TPM connector (14-1 pin TPM) - Does it need to be connected? Is that required for bootup? Thermal sensor connector (2-pin T_Sensor) - connect or not?”

• TPM hardware provides a tamper-resistant way to store encryption keys on a computer. They are not required for boot. The TPM plugs into the motherboard and the thermal sensor uses a wire to connect it to the motherboard and can be dissabled.
