Floppy Disk / Hard Disk Support

The board comes with an enhanced PCI IDE controller that supports PIO mode 4 and Ultra DMA (Direct
Memory Access) mode data transfers. Two PCI IDE interfaces are mounted on board to enable the system to
support a maximum of four IDE hard disks, or any other IDE devices. See "Jumpers and Connectors" on page
59 for the location of the IDE interfaces.
Connect the cables according to the IDE hard disk configuration listed in the table below. Follow the
instructions in the housing installation manual on how to install a hard disk in the system.

Audio Function

The board provides a complete 3-D audio solution via the onboard 3-D audio controller and the following audio
connectors:

Mono microphone port

Stereo line-in port

Stereo line-out port

Game/MIDI port
These connectors enable the system to accommodate external audio devices.

USB Support

USB is a new serial bus design that is capable of cascading low and medium-speed peripherals (less than 12
Mbps) such as a keyboard, mouse, joystick, scanner, printer and modem/ISDN. With USB, complex cable
connections at the back panel of your PC can be eliminated.
The board comes with two USB ports (CN2). See "Jumpers and Connectors" on page 59 for the location of the
ports.

Modem Ring-in Function

The Modem Ring-in function enables the system to resume from suspend mode by monitoring the fax/modem
(or any device of similar type) activities. Any signal or activity detected from the Modem ring-in connector
automatically returns the system to normal operation. Refer to "Jumpers and Connectors" on page 59 for the
location of the Modem ring-in connector (CN17) on the system board.

Wake-on LAN

The Wake-on LAN (WOL) feature is a special feature that allows the system to be activated by a network
connection via the onboard WOL connector (CN1). Aside from WOL, common network functions such as
remote access, file sharing, etc. are also supported.
Refer to "Jumpers and Connectors" on page 59 for the location of the WOL connector (CN1) on the system
board.
