1-9 Front Audio Connector Setup
This Mainboard is designed with a Front Panel Audio connector “JAUD1”
which provides connection to your chassis.
1. When JAUD1 is set to 5-6 closed and 9-10 closed, this default setting
disables this connector and leaves the Back Panel Audio enabled.
2. To use this Front Panel Audio Connector, please open all pins of
JAUD1 and connect it to your chassis.

LED1 is designed as a Suspend-to-RAM LED which will light up when
the running system is suspended to RAM (STR or S3) mode.
To enable S3 mode, please enter BIOS Setup, then Power Management Setup, and then select S3 choice for the ACPI Suspend Type.
Thereafter, when you select “Suspend” instead of “Turn Off” during
turning off your running system, your system will be suspended to
RAM instead of totally being shut down. If you want to wake up your
suspended system, just click your mouse or press a key on your
system keyboard.
