[. . . ] If the front audio panel is not designed for High Definition Audio jack, we strongly recommend you to connect the microphone to the back panel of the motherboard. Pin1 SENSE2_RETURN KEY SENSE1_RETURN PRESENCE# GND 1 PORT2L SENSE_SEND PORT2R PORT1R PORT1L 27 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.

To use this function you have to have a joystick module and connect it with a game port cable to this port on the motherboard. Pin1 (User Upgrade Optional) 29 Connecting CD_IN This connector is designed to connect CD Audio cable from CDROM or DVD drive to onboard sound. 30 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.

[. . . ] 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). 46 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. [. . . ]
