8. Speaker selector (3-pin SPEECH1)

This jumper allows you to select the speaker you wish to use for the
ASUS POST Reporter™ function. Set to pins 1-2 to use an internal
speaker (usually built in the chassis). Set to pins 2-3 to use an external
speaker. Connect the speakers to the Line Out jack (lime colored) on
the rear panel.

9. SMB V2.0 setting (two 3-pin SMB20)

These jumpers allow you to enable or disable the SMBus 2.0 support
on the motherboard. When these jumpers are set to pins 2-3 (Enable),
you may install PCI devices that comply with SMBus 2.0 specification.
