Connectors

The mainboard provides connectors to connect to FDD, IDE HDD, USB Ports and CPU / System FAN.

FLOPPY DISK DRIVE CONNECTOR - FDD 1
The motherboard provides a standard floppy disk connector that support 360K, 720K, 1.2K 1.44M and 2.88M floppy disk types.

HARD DISK CONNECTORS - IDE1 and IDE2
The mainboard has 32-bit Enchanced PCI IDE and Ultra DMA 33/66/100 controller that provides PIO mode 0~4, Bus Master, and Ultra DMA 33/66/100 function. You can connect up to four hand drives, CD-ROM, 120MB Floppy (reserved for future BIOS) and other devices.

IDE1 (Primary IDE Connector)
The first hard drive should always be connected to IDE1. IDE1 can connect a Master and a Slave drive. You must configure second hard drive to Slave mode by setting the jumper accordingly.

IDE2 (Secondary IDE Connector)
IDE2 can also connect a Master and a Slave drive.


FAN POWER Connector - CPUFAN / SYSFAN / WOL
The CPUFAN (processor fan), SYSFAN (system fan) support system cooling fan with +12V. It supports three-pin head connector. When connecting the wire to the connectors, always take note that the red wire is the positive and should be connected to the +12V, the black wire is Ground and should be connected to GND. If the mainboard has a System Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a specially designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan control.

WOL1 - Wake On LAN
If you have installed a external LAN card, use the cable provided with the card to plug into the mainboard WOL connector. This enables the Wake On LAN (WOL) feature. When your system is in a power-saving mode, any LAN signal automatically resumes the system. You must enable this item using the Power Management page of the Setup Utility.

CD - IN Connector - CDS1
The Connector is for CD - ROM Drive.

AUX - IN Connector - AUX1
The connector is for Audio Device.

Seperate 6 - Channel Connector: CN11
The mainboard has a 3 x 2 pin-header which can provide seperate surround L/R, center and subwoofer connection rather than sharing with Mic-in and Line-in.
