Yes. In addition to the six rear panel connectors, the DQ57TM motherboard has four internal headers allowing addition of eight additional USB ports. Generally, the casings have two front panel USB ports connected to one of these headers. Six additional ports can be added to rear expansion doors via optional connectors. See connexion diagram for front panel USB headers to make sure to connect properly. Caution: An inadequate connection will cause the device to operate incorrectly and may cause damage to device and motherboard.
