2.10.11 Game/MIDI Port

The Game/MIDI port is

identical to that of a

standard PC game adapter

or game I/O port. Connect

an analog joystick to the 15-

pin D-sub connector (Gold)

located at the ATX double

deck ports of the system

board. This port works well

with any application that is

compatible with the standard

PC joystick.

2.10.10 AGP Fan Connector

If the system board is installed with an AGP add-in card and you

wish to install a fan on the add-in card, connect the fans connector

to location FAN 3 on the system board. Refer to the add-in cards

manual for instructions on installing the fan.
