Pin 1 USB2 Connector +5V SBD2SBD2+ GND KEY 1 +5V SBD3SBD3+ GND NC 47 AK76F-400N Chassis Intrusion Connector Online Manual The "CASE OPEN" header provides chassis intrusion-monitoring function. To make this function works, you have to enable it in the system BIOS, connect this header to a sensor somewhere on the chassis. So, whenever the sensor is triggered by lights or the opening of the chassis, the system will send out beep sound to inform you. Please be informed that this useful function only applies to advanced chassis, you may purchase an extra sensor, attach it on your chassis, and make a good use of this function. 1 SENSOR GND Chassis Intrusion Connector 48 AK76F-400N CD Audio Connector This connector is used to connect CD Audio cable from CDROM or DVD drive to onboard sound.

The RTC (real time clock) can also keep running as long as the power cord is plugged. If you lose your CMOS data by accident, you can just reload the CMOS configurations from Flash ROM and the system will recover as usual. ATX Stand-by Power Battery Auto Switch Auto switching to ATX standby power as long as AC power line is plugged. This RTC (Real Time Clock) 00:00:00 smart design increases battery life if you still plug battery on motherboard. Flash ROM CMOS Backup by EEPROM 52 AK76F-400N Over-current Protection Online Manual The Over Current Protection was very popular implemented on ATX 3. 3V/5V/12V switching power supply. However, the new generation CPU uses different voltage that has regulator to transfer 5V to CPU voltage (for example, 2. 0V), and makes 5V over current protection useless. This motherboard is with switching regulator onboard supports CPU over-current protection; in conjunction with 3. 3V/5V/12V power supply provide the full line over-current protection. 12V (Protected by power supply) ATX Switching Power Supply 3. 3V (Protected by power supply) 5V (Protected by power supply) Onboard Power Regulator Over-Current Protection Circuit CPU Core Voltage Note: Although we have implemented protection circuit try to prevent any human operating mistake, there is still certain risk that CPU, memory, IDE, add-on cards installed on this motherboard may be damaged because of component failure, human operating error or unknown nature reason. AOpen cannot guaranty the protection circuit will always work perfectly. [. . . ] In most case, newer versions of drivers and BIOS have solved earlier bugs or compatibility problems. http://club. aopen. com. tw/downloads 91 AK76F-400N Online Manual 5 6 7 eForum: AOpen eForum is provided to discuss our products with other users, in which your problem probably had been discussed before or will be answered.
