m therb ard manual t ensure that it matches the table bel w:
3. E SATA
Y u will find a SATA c nnect r n a cable attached t the fr nt p rts. This internal SATA c nnect r is
designed t c nnect t a standard SATA c nnect r n y ur m therb ard. This will all w high-speed
external hard disk encl sures such as the Antec MX-1 t run at the same speeds as internally installed
hard disks.
3.3 AC’97 / HD A UDIO P ORTS
There is an Intel® standard 10-pin AC’97 c nnect r and an Intel® 10-pin HDA (High Definiti n Audi )

header l cati ns. F r LEDs, c l red wires are p sitive ( + ). White r black
wires are negative ( – ). If the LED d es n t light up when the system is
p wered n, try reversing the c nnecti n. F r m re inf rmati n n
c nnecting LEDs t y ur m therb ard, see y ur m therb ard user’s manual.
Note: P larity (p sitive and negative) d es n t matter f r switches.
3.5 R EWIRING M OTHERBOARD H EADER C ONNECTIONS
There may c me a time when y u need t rec nfigure the pin- ut f a m therb ard header c nnect r.
Examples c uld be f r y ur USB header, audi input header, r s me ther fr nt panel c nnect r such
as the P wer Butt n c nnect r.
Bef re perf rming any w rk, please refer t y ur m therb ard user’s manual r y ur m therb ard
manufacturer's website t be sure f the pin- ut needed f r y ur c nnect r. We str ngly rec mmend
making a n tated drawing bef re beginning w rk s that y u can rec ver if y ur w rk gets disturbed.
1. Determine which wires y u need t rem ve in rder t rewire y ur
plug t match the USB pin- uts n y ur m therb ard (refer t y ur
m therb ard user’s manual). W rking n ne c nnect r at a time,
use a very small flathead screwdriver r similar t l t lift up n
the black tab l cated beside the g ld p sts (squares). This will
all w y u t easily slide ut the pins fr m the USB plug.
2. W rking carefully s as n t t damage the wires, c nnect rs, r
pins, sl wly rem ve the pin fr m the c nnect r. Repeat these
steps f r each wire y u need t change.
3. W rking carefully s as n t t damage the wires, c nnect rs r
pins, sl wly reinsert the pin int the c rrect sl t f the c nnect r
then snap cl sed the black tab that was lifted in step 1. Repeat
these steps f r each wire y u need t change.

Note: The minimum v ltage t start a TriC l™ fan is 5V. We rec mmend that y u set
the fan speed switch t High if y u ch se t c nnect the fan(s) t a fan c ntr l
device. A fan c ntr l device regulates the fan speed by varying the v ltage,
which may start as l w as 4.5V t 5V. C nnecting a TriC l™ fan set n Medium
r L w t a fan-c ntr l device may result in the fan n t being able t start
because the already l wered v ltage fr m the fan c ntr l device will be further
reduced by the TriC l™ circuitry bel w 5V.
