Picture below represents the standard location of all speakers in 5. 1 Channel sound track. Please connect the plug of your front speakers to the green "Speaker out" port, rear speakers' plug to the blue "Line in" port and both of the center and subwoofer speakers to the red "MIC in" port. 60 AX45-8X / AX45-8XN Dr. LED you can easily find the system problems that may occur while assembling. It can clearly indicate whether the problem is caused from components or improper installation through the 8 LED lights of Dr. That is to say you can diagnose your system status quickly. Pin 1 1 3. 3V NC GND 5 2 S1 S2 S3 6 61 AX45-8X / AX45-8XN Online Manual Dr. LED is a CD disc storage box with 8 LEDs on its front panel, the size of Dr. LED is exactly the same as 5. 25 in floppy drive, so that it can be mount into normal 5. 25 in drive bay of any housing. 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Boot O. K. KB HDD Floppy PCI Video Memory CPU The total 8 LEDs light up alternatively if the system fails in one of eight stages. Once the LED7 (latest LED) is lit, this indicates that the system has completed its boot-up procedure. The 8 LEDs indicate the following messages when lit: LED 0 - Indicates that the CPU may have been installed incorrectly or is damaged. LED 1 - Indicates that the memory may have been installed incorrectly or is damaged. LED 2 - Indicates that the AGP may have been installed incorrectly or is damaged. LED 3 - Indicates that the PCI card may have been installed incorrectly or is damaged. LED 4 - Indicates that the floppy disk drive may have been installed incorrectly or is damaged. LED 5 - Indicates that the HDD may have been installed incorrectly or is damaged. LED 6 - Indicates that the keyboard may have been installed incorrectly or is damaged.

K 62 AX45-8X / AX45-8XN Battery-less and Long Life Design Online Manual This Motherboard implements a Flash ROM and a special circuit that provide you no batter power consumption of current CPU and CMOS Setup configurations. 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 RTC (Real Time Clock) 00:00:00 as long as AC power line is plugged. This smart design increases battery life if you still plug battery on motherboard. Flash ROM CMOS Backup by EEPROM 63 AX45-8X / AX45-8XN Over-current Protection Online Manual The Over Current Protection is a popular implementation on ATX 3. 3V/5V/12V switching power supply. However, the new generation CPU uses different voltage with a regulator to transfer 12V to CPU voltage (for example, 2. 0V), and thus makes 5V over current protection useless.
