S/PDIF Connector

W

The S/PDIF connector (J5) is used to connect external S/PDIF
ports. The S/PDIF ports may be mounted on a card-edge bracket.
Install the card-edge bracket to the system chassis then connect
the audio cable connector to J5. Make sure pin 1 of the audio
cable connector is aligned with pin 1 of J5.
