Memory modules have a foolproof design. A memory module can be installed in only one

direction. If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.

1-4-1 Dual Channel Memory Configuration

This motherboard provides two DDR2 memory sockets and supports Dual Channel

Technology. After the memory is installed, the BIOS will automatically detect the

specifications and capacity of the memory. Enabling Dual Channel memory mode

will double the original memory bandwidth.

The two DDR2 memory sockets are divided into two channels and each channel has one memory

socket as following:

Channel 0: DDRII1

Channel 1: DDRII2

Due to chipset limitation, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Dual Channel mode.

1. Dual Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one DDR2 memory module is installed.

2. When enabling Dual Channel mode with two memory modules, it is recommended that

memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.

With the use of the power connector, the power supply can supply enough stable power to all the

components on the motherboard. Before connecting the power connector, first make sure the

power supply is turned off and all devices are properly installed. The power connector possesses

a foolproof design. Connect the power supply cable to the power connector in the correct orientation.

The 12V power connector mainly supplies power to the CPU. If the 12V power connector is not

connected, the computer will not start.

To meet expansion requirements, it is recommended that a power supply that can withstand

high power consumption be used (500W or greater). If a power supply is used that does not

provide the required power, the result can lead to an unstable or unbootable system.

The main power connector is compatible with power supplies with 2×10 power

connectors. When using a 2×12 power supply, remove the protective cover from the

main power connector on the motherboard. Do not insert the power supply cable into pins

The IDE connector supports up to two IDE devices such as hard drives and optical drives. Before

attaching the IDE cable, locate the foolproof groove on the connector. If you wish to connect two IDE

devices, remember to set the jumpers and the cabling according to the role of the IDE devices (for

example, master or slave). (For information about configuring master/slave settings for the IDE

devices, read the instructions from the device manufacturers.)

8) SATA2_0/1/2/3 (SATA 3Gb/s Connectors, Controlled by ICH7)

The SATA connectors conform to SATA 3Gb/s standard and are compatible with SATA 1.5Gb/s

standard. Each SATA connector supports a single SATA device.

The front panel audio header supports HD audio by default. If your chassis provides an

AC’97 front panel audio module, refer to the instructions on how to activate AC’97 functioninality

via the audio software in Chapter 5, «Configuring 2/4/5.1/7.1-Channel Audio.»

Audio signals will be present on both of the front and back panel audio connections

simultaneously. If you want to mute the back panel audio (only supported when using an HD

front panel audio module), refer to Chapter 5, «Configuring 2/4/5.1/7.1-Channel Audio.»

Some chassis provide a front panel audio module that has separated connectors on each

wire instead of a single plug. For information about connecting the front panel audio

module that has different wire assignments, please contact the chassis manufacturer.

panel to this header according to the pin assignments below. Note the positive and negative pins

before connecting the cables.

PW (Power Switch, Red):

Connects to the power switch on the chassis front panel. You may configure the way to turn off

your system using the power switch (refer to Chapter 2, «BIOS Setup,» «Power Management

Setup,» for more information).

SPEAK (Speaker, Orange):

Connects to the speaker on the chassis front panel. The system reports system startup status

by issuing a beep code. One single short beep will be heard if no problem is detected at system

startup. If a problem is detected, the BIOS may issue beeps in different patterns to indicate the

problem. Refer to Chapter 5, «Troubleshooting,» for information about beep codes.

LED is on when the system is operating. The LED keeps blinking when

the system is in S1 sleep state. The LED is off when the system is in

S3/S4 sleep state or powered off (S5).

The front panel design may differ by chassis. A front panel module mainly consists of

power switch, reset switch, power LED, hard drive activity LED, speaker and etc. When

connecting your chassis front panel module to this header, make sure the wire assign-

ments and the pin assignments are matched correctly.
