The Z97M Gaming has few expansion slots, but those it does have are the ones that matter, with two PCI-E x16 slots and two PCI-E x1 slots. Other back panel connection ports include two USB ports, a single PS/2 port, six analogue audio jacks, an optical S/PDIF digital audio port, and two graphics outputs: one HDMI and one DisplayPort. There are also two eSATA ports on the back panel that are controlled by an extra Asmedia SATA controller. There are six USB3 ports on the Z97M Gaming’s back panel, but two of these are powered by the extra Asmedia ASM1042 USB3 controller included on the board. However, two of those six USB3 ports are only available through the Z97M Gaming’s midboard header.
