Ide ide connector 17
The ide connector supports up to two ide devices such as hard drives and optical drives before attaching the ide cable locate the foolproof groove on the connector if you wish to connect two ide devices remember to set the jumpers and the cabling according to the role of the ide devices for example master or slave for information about configuring master slave settings for the ide devices read the instructions from the device manufacturers 17
The motherboard has a 3 pin cpu fan header cpu_fan and a 3 pin system fan header sys_fan each fan header supplies a 12v power voltage and possesses a foolproof insertion design when connecting a fan cable be sure to connect it in the correct orientation most fans are designed with color coded power connector wires a red power connector wire indicates a positive connection and requires a 12v voltage the black connector wire is the ground wire for optimum heat dissipation it is recommended that a system fan be installed inside the chassis 17

Please connect the l shaped end of the sata 3gb s cable to your sata hard drive 18
Pwr_led system power led header 18
Sata2_0 1 sata 3gb s connectors controlled by ich7 18
The sata connectors conform to sata 3gb s standard and are compatible with sata 1 gb s standard each sata connector supports a single sata device 18
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 18

Hardware installation 21 21
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 functioninality 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 21
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 21
Ci chassis intrusion header 22
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 22
F_usb1 f_usb2 usb headers 22
Ga gc230d motherboard 22 22
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 22
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 22
