Line-out Jack (Lime)
This jack is used to connect to the front right and front left
speakers of the audio system.
Note:
The functions of these audio jacks will change to support 6-
channel audio output only after you have installed the audio
driver and set the appropriate configuration.
Surr_con
The surr_connector (J8) supports 4 audio output signals: center
channel, subwoofer, rear right channel and rear left channel. The 4
audio output signals together with the line-out jack (at the rear
panel) support 6-channel audio output.
One card-edge bracket, mounted with a rear jack and a center/
subwoofer jack, will be provided as an option. Make sure pin 1 of
the cable connector is aligned with pin 1 of J8. Install the card-edge
bracket to the system chassis.
Front Audio
The front audio connector (J5) provides you the option of
connecting devices to the line-out and mic-in jacks at the front panel.
Using the line-out and mic-in jacks will disable the rear audio’s line-
out and mic-in functions.
Remove the jumper caps from pins 5-6 and pins 9-10 of J5 prior to
connecting the front audio cable connector. Make sure pin 1 of the
cable connector is aligned with pin 1 of J5. If you are not using this
connector, make sure to replace the jumper caps back to their
original pin locations.
Driver Installation
Install the “AC97 Audio Drivers”. Refer to chapter 4 for more infor-
mation.
