AMicrophone and LAN Status LED Connector (J30)

This connector allows you to extend your microphone connector and LAN Status LED to your front panel. Check the MIC & LED Connector (J30) paragraph on page 36 for a lay-out of this header.

B+12V Power Connector

This is where the Power Supply's +12V ATX connector goes. For a lay-out of this connector please check the F. ATX12V Power Supply paragraph on page 39.

CAGP Slot

This is the AGP expansion slot for your video card. Note that it can only work with 1.5v AGP cards. For more information, check the Step 3 Installation of Expansion Cards paragraph on page 19.

DSocket 478 Connector

This is the Zif (Zero Insertion Force) socket for your Pentium 4 or Celeron CPU. For more information, check the Step 1 Install the CPU paragraph on page 15.

EIntel 875P North Bridge Chip

The Intel® 875P chipset features support for an 800 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) and implements Intel® Performance Acceleration Technology (PAT) with dual-channel DDR400 memory configurations to get incredible performance from the memory interface. Optimized to support the Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor with Hyper-Threading Technology, the 875P chipset adds intelligence to help manage and prioritize multiple threads received from the microprocessor.

F3V Lithium Battery

This battery supplies power to the CMOS RAM. As long as the battery supplies enough power, the contents of your CMOS RAM will be valid. CMOS RAM contents are configured by CMOS setup, and can be cleared by JP5. For more details on this check the H. CMOS Clear (JP5) paragraph on page 42.

GCPU Cooling Fan (CPUFAN1, 2) connectors

With these connectors you can attach the CPU fan or fans to your motherboard. They supply power and (in the case of CPUFAN1) allow you to monitor the speed of the FAN via the SOYO Hardware Monitor software or via CMOS setup. For more details on the lay-out of these connectors, check the 2. Cooling Fan Installation paragraph on page 33.
