Gigabit LAN onboard (for i865Gm-IL)
On the strength of Gigabit LAN controller on board, this motherboard provides
10/100/1000 Mbps (it is 10/100Mpbs for i865Gm-I&i865GVm-I) Ethernet for
office and home use. The Ethernet RJ45 connector is located on top of USB
connectors. The right hand side LED indicates link mode, it lights in yellow
whenever linking to network. The left hand side LED indicates the transfer mode
and it lights in green when data is transferring in 100Mbps (never lights while in
10Mbps), but lights in orange when transferring in Gigabit’s mode. To enable or

Front Audio Connectors
If the housing has been designed with an audio port on the front panel, you’ll be
able to connect onboard audio to front panel through this connector. By the way,
please remove 5-6 and 9-10 jumper caps from the Front Audio Connector before
connecting the cable. Please do not remove these 5-6 and 9-10 yellow jumper
caps if there’s no audio port on the front panel.
Serial ATA Connectors
To connect a serial ATA disk, you have to have a 7-pin serial ATA cable. Connect
two ends of the serial ATA cable to the serial ATA header on the motherboard and
the disk. Like every other traditional disk, you also have to connect a power cable.
Please be noted that it is a jumper free implement; you don’t need to set jumpers
to define a master or slave disk. When serial ATA hard disks are installed on serial
ATA ports, the one connected on SATA1 will be set as the first boot device
automatically. Please note that it doesn’t support Hot-Plug in function.
