It looks like all the black ports on the back are blank, is this so?

The ports are not " blank". They are open for use by other devices like A PC, Mac or smart TV through a Ethernet cable. If you're asking if they loose the internet feed as well, I can't answer since all my devices are WIFI.

Not exactly sure of the question - There is 1 yellow port that goes to your internet router and then there are 4 ports you can use to plug things like your desktop computer into - or other items that dont have wireless cards in them.

I don't know if they vary but just my heat sinks are black. The chips are green. They pretty much cover the entire stick though. Just a little corner by the mobo can be seen.

Sounds to me like you received a dud. I would return it for a new one from Amazon.

if it was installed correctly, the backlit showed be on. There is a wire that is connected to the power, that should be properly inserted into the small connector on the circuit board.

I only use the uhb ports but there is many different ports on the back, you should check with dell.

It sounds like you dont have one of the ribbon cables plugged in all the way. I hate to tell you to take it back apart, but that seems to be the only advice I can give. :/

I recommend that you do a factory reset, but first a backup of the data and applications you have, and try again the usb ports. excuse my English, I'm learning

I'm pretty sure Zotac is working on a revision to this board. There was a problem with the wake-on USB function on the original shipment. I'm sure most vendors are holding off until Zotac gets this fixed (or likely Zotac isn't shipping anymore until they fix it).

Yeah, or maybe the cables. I have all 4 being used and all 4 work fine. As the other responder said too, they might be older cables or some aftermarket junk. Try the working cable in different ports. Good luck

Hmmm... I had the opposite problem when I put mine together. I found the data port (located in front left quadrant of mb), but discovered I needed to buy a molex to sata power conversion cable. to get power.

oh, and just in case you didn't notice it in the description, each USB port has an on/off switch. so if you get this item, just make sure your ports are in the on position before thinking that you have a defective item. Hope I've been helpful to you! :)
