The CT5880 provides high-quality audio performance and low CPU utilization for you.
Featuring 128-voice wave-table synthesis with very high sample rate converters. In
addition, CT5880 supports localized three-dimensional sound immersion in headphone
andfour-speakerenvironments. The four-speakerbasedon speaker-out andline-injack.
the CT5880 also supports multiple algorithm levels of reverb and chorus effects on the
wave-table sounds as well as spatial sound enhancement on MIDI and wave sounds in
two speakers. Full duplex operation also allows simultaneous audio recording and play-
back.

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.
Be sure to unplug the AC power supply before adding or removing expansion
cards or other system peripherals, otherwise your motherboard and expansion
cards might be seriously damaged.
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/2 mouse.
USB1, USB2 Connectors
Two USB ports are for connecting USB devices.
USB3, USB4 and USB5, USB6 Connectors
Four USB ports are not available on the back panel. Therefore, we provide a 10-pin cable(
optional) toconnect onboard USBheadersand USB devices.

Installation Instruction
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.

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 waked up by a ring signal received from internal modem. If this
function is to be used, be sure an internal modem card which supports the 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 ( AUX, CD_IN, MODEM )
( Available on KuDoz 7-A/-C )
AUX and CD_IN connectors allow you to receive audio input from such sound sources as
a CDROM, TV tuner, or MPEG card. The MODEM connector allows the onboard audio to
interface with avoicemodem cardwith asimilar connector.It allows connecting the mono_in
(such as a phone) or mono_out (such as a speaker) between the onboard audio and the

Note:
For the KuDoz 7, the AMR card should be set as AMR Primary card to use only.
For the KuDoz 7-A, to avoid conflict, you should set the AMR card as Slave when
use onboard audio codec( AC97 Codec ) or set the AMR card as Primary and
jumpers JP1, JP2, JP3 as disabling onboard audio codec( AC97 Codec ) when use
the audio codec on the AMR card.
For the KuDoz 7-C, the PCI1 slot can only use Slave card, and the AMR card should
be set as AMR Primary card to use only.
Smart Card Reader Connector( SCR )
The SCRinterfaceconnector istheinterface betweenthe motherboardandthe SmartCard.
The SCR is built in IT8705F I/O chip and includes a standard UART to control Smart Card
interface handshaking and then performs data transfers. The SCR can be used for a broad
rangeofapplications inGSM,ID, payTV,bankingand soforth.It also providesa Smart Card
clock divider for those ICC ( Integrated Circuit Card ) without internal clocks. If use this

BIOS-ProtectEasy Jumper ( JAV )
The BIOS of the motherboard is contained inside the Flash ROM. If the jumper JAV is set
asclosed,you willbe unabletoflash theBIOSto themotherboard. Howeverinthis status,
the system BIOS is protected from being attacked by serious virus such as CIH virus.
Under specialconditions, thejumper“JAV”should beset asOPEN. For furtherdetails, refer
to the “BootEasy” part of appendix.
Settingthe jumperJAVasopen(default),meanwhiledisablingthe“FlashWriteProtect”item
from “Advanced BIOS Features ” in AWARD BIOS CMOS Setup, allows you to flash the
BIOStotheFlashROM.
TheDMI(Desktop ManagementInterface)systeminformationsuchastheCPUtype/speed,
memory size, and expansion cards will be detected by the onboard BIOS and stored in the
flashROM.Whenever thesystemhardware configuration ischanged, DMI informationwill
beupdated automatically.However, settingjumperJAVasclosedmakesflashing BIOSand
updating DMI information impossible. Therefore, set JAV as open when changing the sys-
temhardwareconfiguration, or theerrormessage “Unknown FlashType”willbe displayed
on the screen, and DMI information update will be fail.
