The Serial Interface: COM1/ COM2

The serial interface port is sometimes referred to as an RS-232 port or an asynchronous communication port. Mice, printers, modems and other peripheral devices can be connected to a serial port.

Audio Port Connectors

Speaker Out is used to connect to speakers or headphones. If the Super 5.1 driver is installed the Speaker Out becomes the Front Speaker.

Line In can be connected to an external CD player, Tape player or other audio devices for audio input. If the Super 5.1 driver is installed Line In becomes the Rear Speaker.

Mic In is used to connect to a microphone. If the Super 5.1 driver is installed the Mic In becomes the Subwoofer/ Center out.

This mainboard supports Super 5.1 Channel Audio effects which turns your standard Speaker Out, Lin In, Mic In audio connectors into a 6 channel audio system. See Appendix II for more information.
