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, which is keyed so that it can’t be accidentally reversed as long as it is connected to a proper Intel standard motherboard header. Connect the 10-pin connector to your motherboard header so that the blocked pin fits over the missing header pin.

Note: Please check your motherboard manual for your IEEE 1394 header pin layout and make sure it matches the attached table. If you intend to connect the front FireWire port to an IEEE 1394 add-on card that comes with an external-type IEEE1394 connector, please call Antec customer service at (800) 22ANTEC (North America) or +31 (0) 10 462-2060 (Europe) to buy an adapter. This adapter will allow you to connect the front IEEE 1394 port to the external 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. You can connect either of them to your motherboard depending on the specification of the motherboard. See instruction below:

Note: Please check your motherboard manual for your audio header pin layout and make sure it matches the table below. Even if your system supports both audio standards, you may only connect one connector not both.
