Installation Instructions
This section covers External Connectors and Jumper Settings. Refer to the motherboard
layout chart for the locations of all jumpers, external connectors, slots and I/O ports.
Furthermore, this section lists all necessary connector pin assignments for your reference.
The particular states of the jumpers, connectors and ports are illustrated in the following
figures. Before setting the jumpers or inserting these connectors, please pay attention to
thedirections.
External Connectors
PS/2 Keyboard Connector, PS/2 Mouse Connector
PS/2 keyboard connector is for the usage of PS/2 keyboard. If using a standard AT size
keyboard, an adapter should be used to fit this connector. PS/2 mouse connector is for the
usageofPS/2mouse.
USB1,USB2 Connectors
Two USB ports are for connecting USB devices.
Be sure to unplug the AC power supply before adding or removing expansion
cards or other system peripherals, otherwise your motherboard and expan-
sion cards might be seriously damaged.

ATX Power Supply Connector & Power Switch( POWER SW)
Be sure to connect the power supply plug to this connector in its proper orientation. The
power switch ( POWER SW) should be connected to a momentary switch (power button).
When powering up your system, first turn on the mechanical switch of the power supply (if
one is provided), then push once the power button. When powering off the system, you
needn’t turn off the mechanical switch, just
Push once
*the power button.
Note: * If you change “soft-off by PWRBTN”from default “Instant-off”to “Delay 4
Sec”in the “POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP”section of the BIOS, the power button
should be pressed for more than 4 seconds before the system powers down.
Hard Disk LED Connector (HD_LED)
Theconnectorconnectstothecase’sIDEindicator LED indicating the activity status of IDE
hard disk. The connector has an orientation. If one way doesn’t work, try the other way.
Reset Switch (RESET)
The connector connects to the case’s reset switch. Press the switch once, the system
resets.
Speaker Connector (SPEAKER)
The connector can be connected to the speaker on the case.

Wake-Up On LAN ( WOL )
Through the Wake-Up On LAN function, a wake event occurring from the network can
wakeupthe system. If this function is to be used, please be sure anATX 2.01 power supply
of which 5VSB line is capable of delivering 720mA, and a LAN adapter which supports this
function are used. Then connect this header to the relevant connector on the LAN adapter,
set“WakeuponLAN/Ring”asEnabledinthe“POWERMANAGEMENTSETUP”sectionofthe
BIOS. Save & exit, then boot the operating system once to make sure this function takes
effect.
Wake-Up On Internal Modem ( WOM )
Through the Wake-Up On Internal Modem function, the system which is in the suspend or
soft-off status can be powered on by a ring signal received from internal modem. If this
functionistobe used, be sure an internal modem card which supports this function is used.
Then connect this header to the relevant connector on the modem card, set “Wake up on
LAN/Ring” asEnabledinthe“POWERMANAGEMENTSETUP”sectionoftheBIOS.Save&
exit, then boot the operating system once to make sure this function takes effect.

Internal Audio Connectors ( CD_IN, MODEM)
CD_IN is a Sony standard CD audio connector, it can be connected to a CD-ROM drive
through a CD audio cable. The MODEM connector allows the onboard audio to interface
with a voice modem card with a similar connector. It allows connecting the mono_in (such
as a phone) or mono_out (such as a speaker) between the onboard audio and the voice
modemcard.

Audio/Modem Riser Slot (AMR) & AMR Sound Option(JSD)
The AMR Interface Connector is the interface between the mainboard and the Audio/
Modem Riser card. The connector provides all necessary signals which supports several
different configurations of audio and modem in the system, such as audio and modem on
the riser, audio on the mainboard and modem on the riser, or no audio with modem on the
riser.EitherAMR(Audio/ModemRiser)cardorMR(ModemRiser)card canbeusedonthis

Audio Interface
The audio interface provides three kinds of audio output choices: the FrontAudio, the
RearAudio and the ActiveAudio. Their priority level is as sequence. When the FrontAudio
is available, the RearAudio and the ActiveAudio( in-case speakers ) will be cut off. When
the RearAudio is available, the ActiveAudio will be cut off. An onboard amplifier is pro-
vided for the case of earphone plugged into. When the FrontAudio is absent, Pin11 and
Pin12,Pin13andPin14 must be short connected.
