CN2/CN2A (CD-ROM Audio-in Connector)

Use the audio cable enclosed with your CD-ROM disk drive to connect the CD-ROM to

your motherboard. This will enable your CD-ROM's audio function.

CN5 [WOL (Wake-on-LAN) Connector]

Enable the Wake Up On LAN selection in BIOS's Power Management Menu to use this

function. The capability to remotely manage PCs on a network is a significant factor in

reducing administrative and ownership costs. Magic Packet technology is designed to

give WOL capability to LAN controller. This header is used to connect an add-in NIC

(Network Interface Card) that gives WOL function to the motherboard.
