[. . . ] Now AGP is moving to AGP 8X mode, which is upgraded to 66MHz x 4bytes x 8 =2. 1GB/s. For i865Gm-7L/7N, the AGP slot can automatically recognize an AGP or a Multiplexed Intel DVO Output depending on which cards being inserted, such as AGP, or ADD (AGP Digital Display) cards. With an ADD card implemented to this slot, Multiplexed Intel DVO output will provide high-speed digital connection for digital displays or TV-OUT functionality. Warning: It is strongly recommended not adjust AGP/PCI voltage/clock when you connect SATA device. It is because when the voltage/clock for AGP/PCI is adjusted, the SATA clock cannot remain at 100MHz, and the system will therefore be unstable. Warning: It is strongly recommended not install a 3. 3V AGP card, which is not supported by Intel 865G / 865PE / 848P chipsets on this motherboard. 21 Connecting IrDA The IrDA connector can be configured to support wireless infrared module, with this module and application software such as Laplink or Windows Direct Cable Connection, user can transfer files to or from laptops, notebooks, PDA devices and printers. This connector supports both HPSIR (115. 2Kbps, 2 meters) and ASK-IR (56Kbps). Install an infrared module onto the IrDA connector and enable the infrared function from BIOS Setup, UART Mode, you can use this function. Please make sure you connect correct orientation when plugging IrDA module. Pin 1 1 NC +5V IR_TX KEY GND IR_RX IrDA Connector 22 10/100/1000Mbps LAN Supported (1000Mbps for i865Gm-7L) With the strength of Gigabit LAN controller on board, i865Gm-7L motherboard provides 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet for office and home use. The right hand side LED indicates link mode; it lights in yellow when linking to network. The left hand side LED indicates the transfer mode and will light in green when data is transferring at 100Mbps (never lights while at 10Mbps), but will light in orange when transferring in Gigabit's mode. To enable or disable this function, you may simply adjust it through BIOS. To enable LAN wakeup function, you have to set the "Wake on PCI Card" enable in the BIOS "Power Management Setup" section. Transferring (Left) Green 100Mbps Orange Gigabit mode Linking (Right) Yellow 23 Connecting USB2. 0 This motherboard provides eight USB2. 0 ports to connect USB devices such as mouse, keyboard, modem, printer, etc. You can use proper cables to connect Front USB connector to USB modules or chassis front panel. Pin 1 12 +5V SBD6SBD6+ GND KEY 9 10 +5V SBD7SBD7 GND NC USB Connector 24 Super 5. 1 Channel Audio Effect This motherboard comes with a Realtek AC'97 CODEC (ALC655), which supports high quality of 5. 1 Channel audio effect, bringing you a brand new audio experience. On the strength of the innovative design of ALC655, you're able to use standard line-jacks for surround audio output without connecting any external module. To apply this function, you have to install the audio driver in the Bonus Pack CD as well as an audio application supporting 5. 1 Channel. Picture below represents the standard location of all speakers in 5. 1 Channel sound tracks. 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. 25 Connecting Front Audio If the housing is designed with an audio port on the front panel, you'll be able to connect onboard audio to front panel through this connector. By the way, please remove the jumper cap from the Front Audio Connector before you connect the cable. Do not remove this yellow jumper cap if you housing doesn't have an audio port on the front panel. Pin 1 AUD_MIC AUD MIC BIAS AUD_FPOUT_R NC AUD_FPOUT_L 1 AUD_GND AUD_VCC AUD_RET_R KEY AUD_RET_L Front Audio Connector 26 Connecting COM2 This motherboard provides two serial ports. With proper cable, you can connect it to the back panel of chassis. Pin 1 12 DOD# SOUT GND R1# RTS# Sin DTR# CTS# DSR# COM Connector 27 Connecting CD_IN This connector is designed to connect CD Audio cable from CDROM or DVD drive to onboard sound. R GND GND L CD-IN Connector 28 Connecting Case Open The "CASE OPEN" header provides chassis intrusion-monitoring function. To make this function work, 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 by the opening of the chassis, the system will beep 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. Pin 1 1 Sensor GND Chassis Intrusion Connector 29 Connecting S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) is a newest audio transfer file format, which provides impressive audio quality through optical fiber and allows you to enjoy digital audio instead of analog audio.
