Chapter 3 J7 - ATX POWER CONNECTOR J7 is a 2x10 pin male connector. Plug the power connector of the ATX power supply onto the connector. Fig. 10 ATX Power Connector J8 – PARALLEL PORT CONNECTOR J8 locates at the left of the two serial ports with pin 1 on the upper side. J9 - FLOPPY DRIVE CONNECTOR This connector supports the floppy drive ribbon cable.
Connector Configuration 3.10 J11 – KEYBOARD CONNECTOR A standard five-pin female DIM keyboard connector is located at the rear of the keyboard. Plug the jack on the keyboard cable into this connector. Fig. 12 Keyboard Connector 3.11 J12, J13 - SERIAL PORT COM1/COM2 These are D-Type 9 pin male connectors for pointing devices or other serial devices.
Chapter 3 3.13 J15 - AT POWER CONNECTOR The power supply connector has two six-pin male header connectors. Plug the dual connectors from the power directly onto the board connector.

Flash and DMI Utility DESKTOP MANAGEMENT INTERFACE (DMI) OVERVIEW This motherboard can support DMI within the BIOS level. DMI is able to auto- detect and record information pertinent to a computer’s system such as the CPU type, CPU speed, and internal/external frequencies, and memory size. The onboard BIOS will detect as many system information as possible and store those collected information in a 4KB block in the motherboard’s flash EPROM and allow the DMI to retrieve data from this database.
