3.3ASUS Instant Music Lite

The motherboard is equipped with a BIOS-based audio playback feature called Instant Music Lite. This feature is supported by the onboard audio AC’97 CODEC, and requires an optical drive (CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or CD-RW).

1.Instant Music Lite only supports CDs in audio format.

2.Instant Music Lite does not work if you installed and enabled an add-on sound card.

3.Instant Music Lite only supports PS/2 keyboard.

To enable ASUS Instant Music Lite:

1.Connect the analog audio cable from the optical drive (CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or CD-RW drive) to the 4-pin CD-In connector (labeled CD1) on the motherboard. See section “1.12 Connectors” for the connector location.

Make sure to connect the CD-ROM audio cable. Otherwise, you cannot control the audio volume using the Instant Music Lite function keys.

2.Turn on the system and enter BIOS by pressing the Delete key during the Power On Self-Tests (POST).

3.In the Advanced Configuration menu, select the item Instant Music and set it to Enabled. See section “2.4 Advanced Menu” in the user guide.

4.Highlight the Instant Music CDROM item and press Enter to display the CD-ROM options. Select the CD-ROM drive that you wish to use for this feature. See section “2.4 Advanced Menu” in the user guide.

If you have only one optical drive (either CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or CD-RW) installed in the system, you don’t have to set Instant Music CDROM item. BIOS automatically detects and displays the installed drive type.

5.Save your changes and exit BIOS Setup.

1.The Scroll Lock LED is fixed to ON after enabling Instant Music.

2.The Caps Lock LED is turns ON when you pause the CD playback.

3.When set to Instant Music Lite mode, the system wake-up features (LAN, keyboard, mouse, USB) are deactivated. In this case, power up the system using the power switch.

4.If the system lost connection or did not detect any optical drive, the Instant Music Lite feature turns OFF (disabled) automatically. A “beep” indicates this condition.
