[. . . ] 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 24 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 12 +5V JAB1 JACX GND GND JACY JAB2 +5V 15 16 +5V JBB1 JBCX MIDI_TXD JBCY JBB2 MIDI_RXD KEY (User Upgrade Optional) Game Port Connector 25 Gigabit LAN Supported On the strength of Realtek Gigabit LAN controller on board, this motherboard provides 10/100/1000Mbps 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. Speed LED (Left) Green 100Mbps Orange Gigabit mode ACT LED (Right) Yellow 26 Connecting USB2. 0 This motherboard provides eight USB 2. 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 Pin 1 12 +5V SBD6SBD6+ GND KEY 9 10 +5V SBD7SBD7+ GND NC USB Connector 27 Connecting 1394 With IEEE1394 Chip on board (Agere 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 12 TPA+ GND TPB+ +12V (Fused) TPAGND TPB+12V (Fused) SHIED GND IEEE 1394 Connector Warning: Please note that Hot-Plug is not allowed on IEEE 1394 headers; doing so will burn the controller IC and damage the motherboard. 28 Super 7. 1 Channel Audio Effect This motherboard comes with an AC'97 (Realtek ALC880) CODEC, which supports the latest 7. 1 Channel with high quality of audio effects, bringing you a brand new audio experience. Picture represents the standard location of all speakers in 7. 1 Channel sound tracks. Please connect the plug of your front speakers to the green "Speaker out" port , rear surround speakers to orange port, side surround speakers to gray port and both of the center and subwoofer speakers to black port on the back panel. 29 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 your housing doesn't have an audio port on the front panel. Pin1 1 AUD_MIC AUD MIC BIAS AUD_FPOUT_R NC AUD_FPOUT_L AUD_GND AUD_VCC AUD_RET_R KEY AUD_RET_L Front Audio Connector 30 Connecting CD_IN This connector is designed to connect CD Audio cable from CDROM or DVD drive to onboard sound. R GND L AUX-IN Connector 31 Connecting COM Port i945Ga-PHS / i945Pa-PFS provides serial ports. Also, i945Pa-PFS have two serial ports, one is on the back panel, and the other is on the motherboard. With proper cable, you can connect it to the back panel of chassis. Pin 1 RTS RI# GND SOUT DCD# 1 2 CTS# DSR# Pin 1 Sin DTR# COM1 Connector (i945Ga-PHS Only) 12 DCD# SOUT GND RTS# RI# Sin DTR# DSR# CTS# COM2 Connector 32 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 GND Sensor Chassis Intrusion Connector 33 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.
