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

• Instant Music only supports CDs in audio format.

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

•Instant Music only supports PS/2 keyboard.

To enable ASUS Instant Music:

1.Connect the analog audio cable from the optical drive to the 4-pin CD connector (labeled CD) on the motherboard. See section 2.7.2 “Internal connectors” for the location of the CD connector.

Make sure to connect the optical drive audio cable. Otherwise, you cannot control the audio volume using the Instant Music function keys.

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

3.In the Instant Music Configuration menu, select the item Instant Music and set it to Enabled. See section 4.4.5 “Instant Music Configuration.”

4.Select the Instant Music CD-ROM Drive option, then press <Enter> to display the CD-ROM options.

5.Save your changes, then exit the BIOS Setup.

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

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

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

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