11.IrDA-Compliant infrared module connector (5-pin IR)

This connector supports the optional wireless transmitting and receiving infrared module. This module mounts to a small opening on system cases that support this feature. You must also configure the setting through “UART2 Use Infrared” in Chipset Features Setup to select whether UART2 is directed for use with COM2 or IrDA. Use the five pins as shown on the Back View and connect a ribbon cable from the module to the motherboard according to the pin definitions.

12.SB-Link™ Connector (6-1 pin SBLINK)

Using Intel’s PC-PCI and serialized IRQ protocols found in this motherboard’s AGPset, this connector allows Sound Blaster 16 compatibility to AWE64D (Digi- tal) or other PCI audio cards, enabling users to play Real-mode DOS games and multimedia applications. SB-Link acts as a bridge between the motherboard and the PCI audio card by providing the DMA and IRQ signals present in the ISA bus but not available on the PCI bus.
