This chapter describes jumpers, connectors and hardware devices of this motherboard.
Note: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk drives, expansion boards, and
other components. Always observe the following precautions before you install a system component.
1. Do not remove a component from its protective packaging until you are ready to install it.
2. Wear a wrist ground strap and attach it to a metal part of the system unit before handling a
component. If a wrist strap is not available, maintain contact with the system unit throughout any
procedure requiring ESD protection.

When you read this online manual and start to assemble your computer system, you may notice that some of the functions are
marked as “User Upgrade Optional” or “Manufacture Upgrade Optional”. Although all of AOpen’s motherboards have included
many amazing and powerful features, sometimes not every user is familiar with these powerful features. As a result of this we
define features that can be upgraded by users as “User Upgrade Optional”. You can upgrade these functions by purchasing
additional devices. As for functions that cannot be upgraded by users, we define them as “Manufacture Upgrade Optional”. If
need be, you can contact our local distributors or resellers to purchase “Manufacture Upgrade Optional” components, and again
you are also welcome to visit our official website at Http://english.aopen.com.tw
for detail information.

IDE1 is also known as the primary channel and IDE2 as the secondary channel. Each channel supports two IDE devices that
make a total of four devices. In order to work together, the two devices on each channel must be set differently to Master and
Slave mode. Either one can be the hard disk or the CDROM. The setting as master or slave mode depends on the jumper on
your IDE device, so please refer to your hard disk and CDROM manual accordingly.
Warning: The specification of the IDE cable is a maximum of 46cm (18 inches);
make sure your cable does not exceed this length.
Tip:
1. For better signal quality, it is recommended to set the far end side device to
master mode and follow the suggested sequence to install your new
device. Please refer to above diagram
2. To achieve the best performance of Ultra DMA 66/100 hard disks, a special
80-wires IDE cable for Ultra DMA 66/100 is required.

A ZCR card is a PCI card that allows a RAID card to use the onboard SCSI chip, thus lowering cost of RAID solution. A
"Zero-channel" RAID adapter is a PCI RAID controller that doesn't have any SCSI channels on board. Instead, it is
designed to use the on-board SCSI channels of the motherboard to implement a cost-effective Hardware RAID solution.
Please be informed that only the green PCI-X slot supports ZCR function. (DXPL Plus-U)

S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) is a newest audio transfer file format, which provides impressive audio quality through optical
fiber and allows you to enjoy digital audio instead of analog audio. 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 better audio quality. Through
a specific audio cable, you can connect the S/PDIF connector to other end of the S/PDIF audio module, which bears S/PDIF digital output.
However, you must have a S/PDIF supported speaker/amplifier/decoder with S/PDIF digital input to connect to the S/PDIF digital output
to make the most out of this function.

To use Wake On LAN function, you must have a network card with chipset that supports this feature, and connect a cable from
LAN card to motherboard WOL connector. The system identification information (probably IP address) is stored on network card
and because there is a lot of traffic on the Ethernet, you need to install network management software, such as ADM, for the
checking of how to wake up the system. Note that, at least 600mA ATX standby current is required to support the LAN card for
