[. . . ] There are two USB connectors on the board for you to connect four USB devices and two other ports on the back panel. You can use proper cables to connect USB devices from PC99 back panel or connect the front USB connector to the front panel of chassis. Compared to traditional USB 1. 0/1. 1 with the speed of 12Mbps, USB 2. 0 has a fancy speed up to 480Mbps which is 40 times faster than the traditional one. Except for the speed increase, USB 2. 0 supports old USB 1. 0/1. 1 software and peripherals, offering impressive and even better compatibility to customers. On this motherboard, all six ports support USB 2. 0 function. 1 USBPWR0 USB_FP_P0USB_FP_P0+ GND KEY 2 USBPWR0 USB_FP_P1USB_FP_P1+ GND USB_FP_OC0 Pin 1 Pin1 USB2. 0 Connector 47 MX4GE Case Open 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 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. 1 Sensor GND Intrusion Sensor Pin 1 48 MX4GE CD Audio Connector This connector is used to connect CD Audio cable from CDROM or DVD drive to onboard sound. Online Manual R GND GND L CD-IN Note: Though some of the latest versions of Windows support "Digital Audio" through IDE bus. However, in order to use Open Jukebox player, which is driven under BIOS, it is a MUST to connect audio cable to CD-IN connector on the motherboard. 49 MX4GE Modem Audio Connector Online Manual This connector is used to connect Mono In/MIC Out cable from internal modem card to onboard sound circuit. Please note that there is no standard for this kind of connector yet, only some internal modem cards implement this connector. MIC OUT GND GND MONO IN MODEM-CN Connector 50 MX4GE COM2 Connector Online Manual This motherboard provides two serial ports. One of them is on back panel connector, and the other is on the lower part of the board. With proper cable, you can connect it to the back panel of chassis. 1 DCD# SOUT GND RI# RTS# 2 SIN DTR# DSR# CTS# Pin 1 51 MX4GE Front Audio Connector Online Manual If the housing has been 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.

Do not remove this yellow jumper cap if your housing doesn't have an audio port on the front panel. 52 MX4GE S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) Connector Online Manual S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) is a latest audio transfer file format that provides impressive quality through optical fiber and allows you to enjoy digital audio instead of analog. 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 a even better audio quality. Through a specific audio cable, you can connect the S/PDIF connector to a S/PDIF audio module bearing S/PDIF digital output. However, you must have a S/PDIF supported speaker with S/PDIF digital input to make the most of this function. 1 5 +5V NC SPDIFOUT GND SPDIFIN Pin 1 S/PDIF Connector Connecting to RCA Cable Connecting to Optical Cable Audio cable S/PDIF Module (User Upgrade Optional) 53 MX4GE 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 RTC (Real Time Clock) 00:00:00 Auto switching to ATX standby power 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 54 MX4GE 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.
