9) F_PANEL (Front Panel Header)

Connect the power switch, reset switch, speaker, chassis intrusion switch/sensor and system status indicator

on the chassis to this header according to the pin assignments below. Note the positive and negative pins

before connecting the cables.

The front panel design may differ by chassis. A front panel module mainly consists of power switch, reset

switch, power LED, hard drive activity LED, speaker and etc. When connecting your chassis front panel

module to this header, make sure the wire assignments and the pin assignments are matched correctly.

• PW (Power Switch):

Connects to the power switch on the chassis front panel. You may

congure the way to turn off your system using the power switch

(refer to Chapter 2, "BIOS Setup," "Power Management," for more

information).

• SPEAK (Speaker):

Connects to the speaker on the chassis front panel. The system

reports system startup status by issuing a beep code. One single

short beep will be heard if no problem is detected at system startup.

• PLED/PWR (Power/Sleep LED):

Connects to the power status indicator on

the chassis front panel. 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).

10) F_AUDIO (Front Panel Audio Header)

The front panel audio header supports Intel High Denition 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.

• The front panel audio header supports HD audio by default.

• Audio signals will be present on both of the front and back panel audio connections simultaneously.

• 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.

• HD (Hard Drive Activity LED):

Connects to the hard drive activity LED on the chassis front panel. The LED is on when the hard drive

is reading or writing data.

• RES (Reset Switch):

Connects to the reset switch on the chassis front panel. Press the reset switch to restart the computer

if the computer freezes and fails to perform a normal restart.

• CI (Chassis Intrusion Header):

Connects to the chassis intrusion switch/sensor on the chassis that can detect if the chassis cover has

been removed. This function requires a chassis with a chassis intrusion switch/sensor.

• NC: No Connection.
