Connecting the IEEE 1394 (FireWire®, i.Link®) Port
You will find a single 10-pin connector on a cable attached to the front IEEE 1394 connection. This is an Intel® standard connector that is keyed so that it can’t be accidentally reversed when connected to a proper Intel® standard motherboard header. Connect the 10-pin connector to the motherboard header so that the blocked pin fits over the missing header pin.
Note: Please check the motherboard manual for your IEEE 1394 header pin layout and make sure it matches the table below. If you intend to connect the front FireWire port to an IEEE 1394 add-on card that comes with an external-type IEEE 1394 connector, you will need a FireWire Internal Adapter. To order one, please visit Antec’s web store at http://www.antec.com/StoreFront.bok and search for part number 30031. This adapter will allow you to connect the front IEEE 1394 port to the external-type connector.

Connecting the Audio Ports (AC’ 97 and HDA)
There is an Intel® standard 10-pin AC’ 97 connector and an Intel® 10-pin HDA (High Definition Audio) connector, either of which can be connected to your motherboard depending on the spec of the motherboard.
