Hardware installation 21 21
To meet expansion requirements it is recommended that a power supply that can withstand high power consumption be used 500w or greater if a power supply is used that does not provide the required power the result can lead to an unstable or unbootable system the main power connector is compatible with power supplies with 2x10 power connectors when using a 2x12 power supply remove the protective cover from the main power connector on the motherboard do not insert the power supply cable into pins under the protective cover when using a 2x10 power supply 21
With the use of the power connector the power supply can supply enough stable power to all the components on the motherboard before connecting the power connector first make sure the power supply is turned off and all devices are properly installed the power connector possesses a foolproof design connect the power supply cable to the power connector in the correct orientation the 12v power connector mainly supplies power to the cpu if the 12v power connector is not connected the computer will not start 21

Pwr_led system power led header 24
The battery provides power to keep the values such as bios configurations date and time information in the cmos when the computer is turned off replace the battery when the battery voltage drops to a low level or the cmos values may not be accurate or may be lost 24
This header can be used to connect a system power led on the chassis to indicate system power status the led is on when the system is operating the led keeps blinking when the system is in s1 sleep state the led is off when the system is in s3 s4 sleep state or powered off s5 24
F_panel front panel header 25
F_audio front panel audio header 26
Hardware installation 26 26
Hda_sur surround center audio header 26
The front panel audio header supports hd audio by default if your chassis provides an ac 97 front panel audio module refer to the instructions on how to activate ac 97 function ality via the audio software in chapter 5 configuring 2 4 5 channel audio audio signals will be present on both of the front and back panel audio connections simultaneously if you want to mute the back panel audio only supported when using an hd front panel audio module refer to chapter 5 configuring 2 4 5 channel audio some chassis provide a front panel audio module that has separated connectors on each wire instead of a single plug for information about connecting the front panel audio module that has different wire assignments please contact the chassis manufacturer 26
The front panel audio header supports intel high definition audio hd and ac 97 audio you may connect your chassis front panel audio module to this header make sure the wire assignments of the module connector match the pin assignments of the motherboard header incorrect connection between the module connector and the motherboard header will make the device unable to work or even damage it 26
To enable 7 channel audio connect a 5 7 surround cable to this header and configure audio output mode via the audio software for purchasing the optional 5 7 surround cable please contact the local dealer 26
Cd_in cd in connector 27

Pin 1 the red wire of the s pdif out cable must align with pin 1 of the spdif_io header incorrect connection may render the device unusable or even result in damage to the device 27
Spdif_io s pdif out header 27
This header supports digital s pdif out via an optional s pdif out cable this header can connect to an audio device that supports digital audio in for purchasing the optional s pdif out cable please contact the local dealer 27
You may connect the audio cable that came with your optical drive to the header 27
Ci chassis intrusion header 28
Do not plug the ieee 1394 bracket 2x5 pin cable into the usb header prior to installing the usb bracket be sure to turn off your computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet to prevent damage to the usb bracket 28
F_usb1 f_usb2 usb headers 28
Hardware installation 28 28
The headers conform to usb 2 1 specification each usb header can provide two usb ports via an optional usb bracket for purchasing the optional usb bracket please contact the local dealer 28
This motherboard provides a chassis detection feature that detects if the chassis cover has been removed this function requires a chassis with chassis intrusion detection design 28
