Speaker Connector
An offboard speaker can be install ed o n the motherbo ard as a manufactu ring optio n .
An offboard speaker can be connected to the motherboard at the front panel
connector. The speaker (onboard or offboard) provides error beep code information
during the P ower On Sel f-Test when the computer cann ot use the video interface.
The speaker is not connected to the audio subsystem and does not receive output
from the audio subsystem.
Reset Button
This connecto r can be connected to a momentary SPST type switch that is normally
open. When the switch is closed, the motherboard resets and runs the POST.
Power LED Connector
This connector can be connected to an LED that will light when the computer is
powered on.
Hard Drive LED Connector
This connector can be connected to an LED to provide a visual indicator that data is
being read from or written to a hard drive. For the LED to function properly, an
IDE drive must be connected to the onboard ha rd drive controller.
Infrared Connector
After the IrDA interface is configured , files can be transferred from or to portable
devices such as laptop s, PDAs, and printe rs u sin g ap p l i cation software.
Sleep Button
When APM is enabl ed i n t he system B IOS, a n d th e o pera ting system’s AP M dr iver
is loaded, the system can enter sleep (standby) mode in one of the follo win g ways:
•
Optional front panel SMI button
•
Prolonged system inactivity using the BIOS inactivity timer feature
T
he 2-pin header lo cated on the front panel I/O connector suppo rts a front panel
SMI switch, which must be a momentary SPST type that is normally open.
Closing the SMI switch sends a System Management Interrupt (SMI) to the
processor, which immediately goes into System Management Mode (SMM).While
the computer is i n sleep mode it is fully capable o f responding to and servicing
external inter ru p ts (such as an incoming fax) even tho u gh the monitor tu rn s on only
if a keyboard or mouse interrupt occurs. To reactivate or resume the system, the
SMI switch must be pressed again, or the keyboard or mouse must be used .
Chapter 1 Motherboard Description
1-10
Power On Button
This connector can b e connected to a fron t panel power switch. The switch must
pull the Power Button pin to ground for at least 50 ms to signal the power supply to
switch on or off. (The time requirement is due to internal debounce circuitry on the
motherboard). At least two seconds must pass before the power supply will
recognize another on/off signal.
1.3.2 Floppy Disk Connector (FDD1)
The motherboard provides a standard floppy disk connector (FDC) that supports
360K, 720K, 1.2M, 1.44M and 2.88M floppy disk types. This connector supports
the provided floppy drive ribbon cables.
1.3.3 Hard Disk Connectors (IDE1/IDE2)
The motherboard has a 32-bit Enhanced PCI IDE Controller that provides PIO
Mode 0~4, B us Master, an d Ultra DMA / 3 3, Ultra DM A / 66, Ultra D MA / 100
(optional) functionality. It has two HDD connectors IDE1 (primary) and IDE2
(secondary). You can connect up to four hard disk drives, a CD-ROM, a 120MB
Floppy (reserved for fu ture BIOS) and othe r devices to IDE1 and I DE2. These
connectors support the IDE hard disk cable provided.
•
IDE1 (Primary IDE Connector)
The first hard drive should always be connected to IDE1. IDE1 can connect a
Master and a Slave d rive. You must con figure the second har d drive on IDE1 to
Slave mode by setting the jumper accord ingly.
•
IDE2 (Secondary IDE Connector)
The IDE2 controller can also support a Master and a Slave drive. The configuration
is similar to IDE1. The second drive on this controller must be set to slave mode.
Chapter 1 Motherboard Description
1-11
1.3.4 ATX 20-pin Power Connector (JATXPWR1)
This connector supports the power button on-board. Using the ATX power
supply, funct ions such as Modem Ring Wake-Up and Soft Power Off are supporte d
on this motherboard. This power connector supports instant power-on functionality,
which means that the system will boot up instantly when the power connector is
inserted on the board.

1.5 Serial and Parallel Interface Ports
This system comes equipped wit h one seri al port an d one pa rallel port . Both types
of interface ports will be explained in this chapter.
The Serial Interface: CN1
The serial interface port is sometimes referred to as an RS-232 port or an
asynchronous communication port. Mice, printers, modems and other peripheral
devices can be connected to a serial port. The serial port can also be used to
connect your computer with another computer system. If you wish to transfer t he
contents of your hard disk to anoth er system it can be accomplish ed by using ea ch
machine’s serial port.
The serial port on this system has one 9-pin connector. Some older computer
systems and peripherals used to be equipped with only one 25-pin connector.
Should you need to connec t your 9-pin serial port to an older 25-pin serial port, you
can purchase a 9-to-25 pin adapter.
Chapter 1 Motherboard Description
1-17
Connectivity
The serial port can be used in many ways, and it may be necessary to become
familiar with the pinout diagram. The following chart gives you the function of
each pin on the 9-pin connector and some of the 25-pin connector. This information
can be used when configuring certain software pr ograms to work with the serial
port.

Parallel Interface Port : CN2
Unlike the serial port, parallel int erface port ha s been sta ndardized and s hould n ot
present any difficulty interfacing peripherals to your system. Sometimes called
Centronics port, the parallel port is almost exclusively used with printers. The
parallel port on your system has a 25-pin, DB25 connector (see picture b e lo w). The
pinouts for the parallel port are shown in the table below.
