Technical Reference

2.8 Connectors

CAUTION

Only the following connectors have overcurrent protection: back panel USB, front panel USB, and PS/2.

The other internal connectors are not overcurrent protected and should connect only to devices inside the computer’s chassis, such as fans and internal peripherals. Do not use these connectors to power devices external to the computer’s chassis. A fault in the load presented by the external devices could cause damage to the computer, the power cable, and the external devices themselves.

This section describes the board’s connectors. The connectors can be divided into these groups:

Back panel I/O connectors

Component-side I/O connectors (see page 68)

NOTE

When installing the D925XBC board in a microATX chassis, make sure that peripheral devices are installed at least 1.5 inches above the main power connector, the diskette drive connector, the Parallel ATA IDE connector, and the DIMM sockets.

2.8.1Back Panel Connectors

The back panel configuration is dependent upon which audio subsystem is present. The configurations are as follows:

8-channel (7.1) audio subsystem (five analog audio output connectors and two digital audio output connectors), described on page 64

6-channel (5.1) audio subsystem (three analog audio output connectors), described on page 66
