Gigabyte Guide to Front Panel Connectors and HD Audio Module Compatibility

9)F_AUDIO (Front Panel Audio Header)

The front panel audio header supports Intel High Definition audio (HD) and AC'97 audio. You may connect your chassis front panel audio module to this header. Make sure the wire assignments of the module con- nector match the pin assignments of the motherboard header. Incorrect connection between the module connector and the motherboard header will make the device unable to work or even damage it.

		For HD Front Panel Audio:			For AC'97 Front Panel Audio:
2	10		Pin No.	Definition		Pin No.	Definition
			1	MIC2_L		1	MIC
1	9		2	GND		2	GND
			3	MIC2_R		3	MIC Power
			4	-ACZ_DET		4	NC
			5	LINE2_R		5	Line Out (R)
			6	GND		6	NC
			7	FAUDIO_JD		7	NC
			8	No Pin		8	No Pin
			9	LINE2_L		9	Line Out (L)
			10	GND		10	NC

•The front panel audio header supports HD audio by default.

• Audio signals will be present on both of the front and back panel audio connections simultane- ously.

•Some chassis provide a front panel audio module that has separated connectors on each wire instead of a single plug. For information about connecting the front panel audio module that has different wire assignments, please contact the chassis manufacturer.

10)CLR_CMOS (Clearing CMOS Jumper)

Use this jumper to clear the CMOS values (e.g. date information and BIOS configurations) and reset the CMOS values to factory defaults. To clear the CMOS values, place a jumper cap on the two pins to temporarily short the two pins or use a metal object like a screwdriver to touch the two pins for a few seconds.

Open: Normal

Short: Clear CMOS Values

•Always turn off your computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before clear- ing the CMOS values.

•After clearing the CMOS values and before turning on your computer, be sure to remove the jumper cap from the jumper. Failure to do so may cause damage to the motherboard.

•After system restart, go to BIOS Setup to load factory defaults (select Load Optimized De- faults) or manually configure the BIOS settings (refer to Chapter 2, "BIOS Setup," for BIOS configurations).
