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-type connector.

CONNECTING THE AUDIO PORTS

There is an Intel standard 10-pin connector (with 7 individual wires with connectors) coming out from the front panel speaker and microphone connection. If your motherboard supports Intel's standard onboard audio connector, you can plug in the 10-pin connector directly onto the board. For non-Intel standard audio connection, you need to plug the 7 individual connectors to the motherboard. See instruction below:

Locate the internal audio connectors from your motherboard or sound card. Consult your motherboard or sound card manual for the pin-out positions.

1.Microphone Signal Pin: Connect the MIC connector to this pin.

2.Microphone Power: Connect the MIC-BIAS connector to this pin.

3.Ground Pin: Connect the AUD GND connector to this pin.

4.Front Right Speaker Out Pin: Connect the FPOUT-R connector to this pin.

5.Front Right Speaker Out Pin: Connect the FPOUT-L connector to this pin.
