3/4/5) CPU_FAN/SYS_FAN/PWR_FAN (Fan Headers)

The motherboard has a 4-pin CPU fan header (CPU_FAN), a 3-pin system fan header (SYS_FAN), and

a 3-pin power fan header (PWR_FAN). Most fan headers possess a foolproof insertion design. When connecting a fan cable, be sure to connect it in the correct orientation (the black connector wire is the ground wire). The motherboard supports CPU fan speed control, which requires the use of a CPU fan with fan speed control design. For optimum heat dissipation, it is recommended that a system fan be installed inside the chassis.

CPU_FAN:

Be sure to connect fan cables to the fan headers to prevent your CPU and system from over-

•

heating. Overheating may result in damage to the CPU or the system may hang. These fan headers are not conguration jumper blocks. Do not place a jumper cap on the

•

headers.

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.

•

PW (Power Switch, Red):

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 Setup," for more information).

•

SPEAK (Speaker, Orange):

Connects to the speaker on the chassis front panel. The system reports system startup status by is-

suing a beep code. One single short beep will be heard if no problem is detected at system startup. If a problem is detected, the BIOS may issue beeps in different patterns to indicate the problem. Refer to Chapter 5, "Troubleshooting," for information about beep codes.

•

HD (Hard Drive Activity LED, Blue)

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, Green):

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, Gray):

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.

•

MSG/PWR (Message/Power/Sleep LED, Yellow/Purple):

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).

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.

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.

For HD Front Panel Audio: For AC'97 Front Panel Audio:

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 functionality via

the audio software in Chapter 5, "Conguring 2/4/5.1/7.1-Channel Audio."

Audio signals will be present on both of the front and back panel audio connections simultane-

•

ously. If you want to mute the back panel audio (only supported when using an HD front panel

audio module), refer to Chapter 5, "Conguring 2/4/5.1/7.1-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.

11) CD_IN (CD In Connector)

You may connect the audio cable that came with your optical drive to the header.

12) SPDIF_I (S/PDIF In Header)

This header supports digital S/PDIF In and can connect to an audio device that supports digital audio out

via an optional S/PDIF In cable. For purchasing the optional S/PDIF In cable, please contact the local dealer.

13) SPDIF_O (S/PDIF Out Header)

This header supports digital S/PDIF Out and connects a S/PDIF digital audio cable (provided by expan-

sion cards) for digital audio output from your motherboard to certain expansion cards like graphics cards and sound cards. For example, some graphics cards may require you to use a S/PDIF digital audio cable for digital audio output from your motherboard to your graphics card if you wish to connect an HDMI display to the graphics card and have digital audio output from the HDMI display at the same time. For information about connecting the S/PDIF digital audio cable, carefully read the manual for your expansion card.

The headers conform to USB 2.0/1.1 specication. Each USB header can provide two USB ports via an

optional USB bracket. For purchasing the optional USB bracket, please contact the local dealer.

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.

15) CLR_CMOS (Clearing CMOS Jumper)

Use this jumper to clear the CMOS values (e.g. date information and BIOS congurations) and reset

the CMOS values to factory defaults. To clear the CMOS values, place a jumper cap on the two pins to temporarily short the two pins or use a metal object like a screwdriver to touch the two pins for a few seconds.

Always turn off your computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before clear-

•

ing the CMOS values. After clearing the CMOS values and before turning on your computer, be sure to remove the

•

jumper cap from the jumper. Failure to do so may cause damage to the motherboard. After system restart, go to BIOS Setup to load factory defaults (select

•

Load Optimized De-

faults) or manually congure the BIOS settings (refer to Chapter 2, "BIOS Setup," for BIOS

congurations).
