15) SPDIF_O (S/PDIF Out Header)
This header supports digital S/PDIF out and connects a S/PDIF digital audio cable (provided by
expansion cards) for digital audio output from your motherboard to certain expansion cards like
graphics cards and sound cards. For example, some graphics cards may require you to use a
S/PDIF digital audio cable for digital audio output from your motherboard to your graphics card if
you wish to connect an HDMI display to the graphics card and have digital audio output from the
HDMI display at the same time. For information about connecting the S/PDIF digital audio cable,
carefully read the manual for your expansion card.
16) F_USB1/F_USB2 (USB Headers)
The headers conform to USB 2.0/1.1 specification. Each USB header can provide two USB ports
via an optional USB bracket. For purchasing the optional USB bracket, please contact the local
dealer.
• Do not plug the IEEE 1394 bracket (2x5-pin) cable into the USB header.
• Prior to installing the USB bracket, be sure to turn off your computer and unplug the
power cord from the power outlet to prevent damage to the USB bracket.
