[. . . ] If the front audio panel is not designed for High Definition Audio jack, we strongly recommend you to connect the microphone to the back panel of the motherboard. Pin1 SENSE2_RETURN KEY SENSE1_RETURN PRESENCE# GND 1 PORT2L SENSE_SEND PORT2R PORT1R PORT1L 28 Connecting 1394 With IEEE1394 Chip on board (TI 1394), having its data transfer rate up to 400Mb/s, this interface can connect to devices that require high data transferring performance such as digital camera, scanner or others IEEE 1394 devices. Please use appropriate cables to connect IEEE1394 devices. Pin1 Pin1 Warning: Please note that Hot-Plug is not allowed on IEEE 1394 headers; doing so will burn the controller IC and damage the motherboard. 29 Connecting COM2 (for i915Ga-EFRII only) This motherboard provides two serial ports. One of them is on back panel connector, and the other is on the left of board. With proper cable, you can connect it to the back panel of chassis. Pin 1 CTS# DSR# DTR# SIN 1 R1# RTS# GND SOUT DCD# 30 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. Through a specific audio cable, you can connect the S/PDIF connector to other end of the S/PDIF audio module, which bears S/PDIF digital output. Normally there are two S/PDIF outputs as shown, one for RCA connector, the most common one used for consumer audio products, and the other for optical connector with better audio quality. Same as outputs, you can also connect RCA or optical audio products to input connectors on the module and have the voice or music come out from your computer. However, you must have a S/PDIF supported speaker/amplifier/decoder with S/PDIF digital input/output to connect to the S/PDIF digital input/output to make the most out of this function. Pin 1 (RCA) S/PDIF OUT S/PDIF IN S/PDIF OUT S/PDIF IN (Optical) S/PDIF Cable S/PDIF Module (User Upgrade Optional) 31 Connecting Game Port This motherboard comes with a game port (Joystick-Midi) for you to connect any midi devices or joysticks. To use this function you have to have a joystick module and connect it with a game port cable to this port on the motherboard. Pin1 (User Upgrade Optional) 32 Connecting CD_IN This connector is designed to connect CD Audio cable from CDROM or DVD drive to onboard sound. 33 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.

STBY LED will light up when power is provided to the motherboard, giving you a convenient indication check the system power status in circumstances such as power on/off, stand-by mode and RAM power status during Suspend to RAM mode. BOOT LED will keep blinking when you power the system on and when your system is under POST (Power-On Self Test). After POST diagnoses everything all right and finishes the booting, the LED will stay on otherwise it will remain flashing to warn you that mistakes have occurred during POST STBY LED BOOT LED 37 3. 4 Jumper Settings JP28 Keyboard / Mouse Wakeup Jumper This motherboard provides PS2 keyboard / mouse wake-up function. JP28 KB/Mouse Wakeup Jumper 1 Disable (Default) 1 Enable JP2 Speaker Output Jumper 1 1 Buzzer (default) Speaker JP2 Speaker Output Allows you to turn off the voice from buzzer or speaker. Voice when it detects any error in operating system. 38 JP24 BIOS Rescue Jumper This motherboard provides DieHard BIOS II function to rescue your BIOS and protect BIOS from viruses. Once your BIOS were crashed, please set JP24 to Pin2-3 to boot up the system with BIOS 2. You can go to our website (http://download. aopen. com. tw/downloads) to download your BIOS version suited for your motherboard, and have it flashed.
