[. . . ] The Ethernet RJ45 connector is located on the top of USB connectors. The right hand side LED indicates link mode; it lights in yellow when linking to network. The left hand side LED indicates the transfer mode and will light in green when data is transferring at 100Mbps (never lights while at 10Mbps), but will light in orange when transferring in Gigabit's mode. To enable or disable this function, you may simply adjust it through BIOS. To enable LAN wakeup function, you have to set the "Wake on PCI Card" enable in the BIOS "Power Management Setup" section. Transferring (Left) Green 100Mbps Orange Gigabit mode Linking (Right) Yellow 23 Connecting USB2. 0 This motherboard provides eight USB2. 0 ports to connect USB devices such as mouse, keyboard, modem, printer, etc. You can use proper cables to connect Front USB connector to USB modules or chassis front panel. Pin 1 12 +5V SBD6SBD6+ GND KEY 9 10 +5V SBD7SBD7 GND NC USB Connector 24 Super 5. 1 Channel Audio Effect This motherboard comes with a Realtek AC'97 CODEC (ALC655), which supports high quality of 5. 1 Channel audio effect, bringing you a brand new audio experience. On the strength of the innovative design of ALC655, you're able to use standard line-jacks for surround audio output without connecting any external module. To apply this function, you have to install the audio driver in the Bonus Pack CD as well as an audio application supporting 5. 1 Channel. Picture below represents the standard location of all speakers in 5. 1 Channel sound tracks. Please connect the plug of your front speakers to the green "Speaker out" port, rear speakers' plug to the blue "Line in" port and both of the center and subwoofer speakers to the red "MIC in" port. 25 Connecting Front Audio If the housing is designed with an audio port on the front panel, you'll be able to connect onboard audio to front panel through this connector. By the way, please remove the jumper cap from the Front Audio Connector before you connect the cable. Do not remove this yellow jumper cap if you housing doesn't have an audio port on the front panel. Pin 1 AUD_MIC AUD MIC BIAS AUD_FPOUT_R NC AUD_FPOUT_L 1 AUD_GND AUD_VCC AUD_RET_R KEY AUD_RET_L Front Audio Connector 26 Connecting COM2 This motherboard provides two serial ports. One is on back panel connector, and the other is on-board connector. With proper cable, you can connect it to the back panel of chassis. Pin 1 12 DOD# SOUT GND R1# RTS# Sin DTR# CTS# DSR# COM Connector 27 Connecting CD_IN This connector is designed to connect CD Audio cable from CDROM or DVD drive to onboard sound. R GND GND L CD-IN Connector 28 Connecting Case Open The "CASE OPEN" header provides chassis intrusion-monitoring function. To make this function work, you have to enable it in the system BIOS, connect this header to a sensor somewhere on the chassis. So, whenever the sensor is triggered by lights or by the opening of the chassis, the system will beep to inform you. Please be informed that this useful function only applies to advanced chassis; you may purchase an extra sensor, attach it on your chassis and make a good use of this function. Pin 1 1 Sensor GND Chassis Intrusion Connector 29 Connecting S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) is a newest audio transfer file format, which provides impressive audio quality through optical fiber and allows you to enjoy digital audio instead of analog audio. Through a specific audio cable, you can connect the S/PDIF connector to other end of the S/PDIF audio module, which bears S/PDIF digital output. Normally there are two S/PDIF outputs as shown, one for RCA connector, the most common one used for consumer audio products, and the other for optical connector with better audio quality. Same as outputs, you can also connect RCA or optical audio products to input connectors on the module and have the voice or music come out from your computer. However, you must have a S/PDIF supported speaker/amplifier/decoder with S/PDIF digital input/output to connect to the S/PDIF digital input/output to make the most out of this function.

[. . . ] All you have to do is just click on the "GO", and no more steps afterward, of all listed drivers, grey checks indicate necessary drivers; you cannot click them off. Red checks can be disabled if you don't want to install them now. Press the icon will prompt the "Install Driver" page. You may also press "Back" to return to the Main page. Once clicking "GO", EzInstall will run the installing procedure automatically, and prompt a reboot dialog (Some drivers or utilities may skip the reboot part). 41 6. 2 Installing Utilities Installing Utilities is virtually the same as installing drivers. AOpen provides you many friendly and powerful utilities to manage your system. [. . . ]
