2-7 Connector and Jumper Settings

Connectors are used to link the system board with other parts of the system, including
power supply, keyboard, and the various controllers on the front panel of the system
case.

The power supply connector is the last connection to be made while
installing a motherboard. Before connecting the power supply, please
make sure it is not connected to the power source.

All cables come with a security-proof.

PW 1 / 3 (ATX Power Supply Connector):

The power cord leading from the system's power supply to the
external power source must be the very last part connected when
assembling a system. The ATX power supply provides a single
20-pin connector interface, which incorporates standard +/-5V,

+/-12V, optional 3.3V and Soft-power signals. The Soft
power signal, a 5V trickle supply is continuously supplied
when AC power is available. When the system is in
Soft-Off mode, this trickle supply maintains the system in
its minimum power state.

The ATX 12V power supply has a new +12V (4-pin) and
+5V / 3.3V (6-pin) auxiliary power connector to enable the delivery of more +12
VDC and + 5/ 3.3V VDC current to the motherboard.

Power-On By Modem:

While in Soft-Off state, if an external modem ring-up signal is detected, the system
will be activated and therefore can be remotely accessed. You may enable this
function in BIOS's Power Management Setup menu. (See section 3. 5)

Blinking LED in Suspend Mode:

While in Suspend mode, the LED light on the front panel of your computer will flash.
Suspend mode is entered by pressing the Green Override Power Button on your ATX
case, or by enabling the Power Management and Suspend Mode options in BIOS's
Power Management menu. (See section 3.5)

Poly-fuse Over Current Protection:

The poly-fuse protects the system from dangerous voltages that the system might be

21

Chapter 1

exposed to via keyboards or USB connectors. In case of such an exposure, the
poly-fuse will immediately be disconnected from the circuit just like a normal fuse.
After being disconnected for a certain period of time, the poly-fuse will return to its
normal state and the keyboard or USB connector can function properly again. Unlike
conventional fuses, the poly-fuse will not need to be replaced, relieving users from
such inconveniences.

CN1A (Front Panel Connector):

PWR-SW (Over-ride Power Button Connector):

The power button on the ATX chassis can be used as a
normal power switch as well as a device to activate the
Advanced Power Management Suspend mode. This is
a power-saving mode used for saving electricity when
the computer is idle for long periods of time. The
Soft-OFF by PWR-BTTN function in BIOS’s Power
Management Setup menu must be set to [Delay 4 Sec.]

to activate this function.
When the Soft-OFF by PWR-BTTN function is enabled, pressing the power
button rapidly will switch the system to Suspend mode. Any occurrence of
external activities such as pressing any keys on the keyboard or moving the
mouse will bring the system back to Full-On. Pushing the button while in
Full-On mode for more than [4 seconds] will switch the system completely off.
See Over-ride Power Button Operation diagram.

1. P-LED (Power LED Connector):

The power indicator LED shows the system's power status. It is important to
pay attention to the correct cable and pin orientation (i.e. Be careful not to
reverse the order of these two connectors.)

2. G-BTN (Green Button Switch):

Some ATX cases provide a Green button switch, which is used to put the
system in Suspend mode. While in Suspend mode, the power supply to the
system is reduced to a trickle, the CPU clock is stopped, and the CPU core is
in its minimum power state. The system is activated whenever the keyboard or
mouse is touched. The system will resume in various ways as defined by
Power Management Setup screen in BIOS.

3. RESET (System Reset Switch Connector):

This connector should be connected to the reset switch on the front panel of
the system case. The reset switch allows you to restart the system without
turning the power off.

4. SPEAKER (Speaker Connector):

22

Chapter 2

This 4-pin connector connects to the case-mounted speakers.

5. HD-LED (IDE - Activity LED Connector):

The IDE- activity LED lights up whenever the system reads/writes to the IDE
devices.

FDD1 (Floppy Connector):

The motherboard provides a standard floppy disk drive connector that
supports 360K, 720K, 1.2M, 1.44M and 2.88M floppy disk types. It is
connected to a floppy disk drive of 34 pins.

IDE 1/2 (IDE Hard-Disk Connector):

The motherboard has a 32-bit Enhanced PCI IDE
and Ultra ATA66/100/133 controller that provides
PIO mode 0~4, Bus Master, and Ultra
ATA66/100/133 function. This connector is used for connecting 40 pins of ATAPI
devices.
IDE 1 only connects two IDE devices. (Primary Master/Slave)
IDE 2 only connects two IDE devices. (Secondary Master/Slave)

FAN1/2/3 (CPU/System/ North bridge Connectors):

The board's hardware management is able to detect the CPU
and system fan speed in rpm (revolutions per minute). The
wiring and plugging may vary depending on the manufacturer.
On standard fans, the red is positive (+12V), the black is
ground, and the yellow wire is the rotation signal. Connect the
north-bridge cooling fan to FAN4.

JP1 (CMOS Clear Jumper):

There is a CMOS RAM on board

Pin

that has a power supply from

external battery to keep the data and

system configuration. To clear the

1-2 Normal (default)
2-3 Clear CMOS Data

contents of the CMOS, please follow the steps below.

this function.

CN13 (S/PDIF Connector)

To enable the S/PDIF function this connector must be

connected to a S/PDIF bracket.

CN23A / 23B (USB Connector for USB 4/5 and 6/7):

USB Port 4/5 à CN23A USB Port 6/7 à CN23B

If you want to use a USB Keyboard, you must enable the USB
keyboard support function in BIOS's Integrated Peripherals menu
(See Section 3.4). This board contains a USB Host controller and
a root hub with two connectors is also included for an optional
USB Adaptor (USB 4/5 and 6/7).

CN24 (Front Audio Connector):

This connector gives you the option of a front-panel
audio-jack cable ext. to be plugged into a special
custom-designed system case.
Simply remove the two jumper caps at pins [5-6] and [9-10]
then plug it into the (optional) cable ext. connector. Pins [5-6] and [9-10] are shorted

g set, the user password

3-10 Supervisor Password & User Password Setting

There are four different variables that control password settings. The first two are
located under the Security Option function in BIOS Features Setup Menu (Figure 3-3).
When the Security Option function is set to Setup, a password is required to enter
BIOS and change BIOS settings. When the Security Option function is set to System,
a password is required to enter both BIOS and computer's operating system (For
example, Windows 98) found on the boot drive.
