400SC Front I/O Panel Access

Question

Hi, Just received the 400SC, when opened, I noticed that there is a front I/O panel that has 2 USB and 1 audio ports.  However, the plastic face covered it up.  Why? Thanks.

Same on mine. Seems to be the Dell way. Reduced functionality at the cost of looks. nice.   Kieran

Either drill a hole from the front panel or insert a USB cable from the back through a PCI slot opening.  I was told the audio port is not function.

The 400sc is a server not a desktop PC.  You don't need usb and audio jacks in the front.  They're there because the power button uses that board.
