[. . . ] 0 Expansion Connector This connector is designed for connecting high-speed USB peripherals such as USB HDDs, digital cameras, MP3 players, printers, modems, and many others. Important Note that the VCC and GND pins must be connected correctly to avoid possible damage. Important • Note that the VCC and GND pins must be connected correctly to avoid possible damage. Please refer to the TPM security platform manual for more details and usages. If the computer case is opened, the chassis intrusion mechanism will be activated. The system will record this intrusion and a warning message will flash on screen. To clear the warning, you must enter the BIOS utility and clear the record. C 2 JAUD1: Front Panel Audio Connector This connector allows you to connect the front audio panel located on your computer case. This connector is compliant with the Intel® Front Panel I/O Connectivity Design Guide. Important The SATA6 port will be unavailable when install a SSD in the mSATA port. M 1 JCOM1: Serial Port Connector This connector is a 16550A high speed communication port that sends/receives 16 bytes FIFOs. D 1 English Jumper JBAT1: Clear CMOS Jumper 1 There is CMOS RAM onboard that is external powered from a battery located on the motherboard to save system configuration data. With the CMOS RAM, the system can automatically boot into the operating system (OS) every time it is turned on. If you want to clear the system configuration, set the jumpers to clear the CMOS RAM. 1 Keep Data Clear Data Important You can clear the CMOS RAM by shorting this jumper while the system is off. Do not clear the CMOS RAM while the system is on because it will damage the motherboard. En-24 Voltage Checkpoints These voltage checkpoints are used to measure the current system voltages. V-Check Spots These voltage check spots are for you to measure CPU and PCH voltages. To check the voltage, please attach the positive lead of the multimeter to these spots and the negative lead to ground spot.
