The extension brackets are used to connect features on the 
mainboard to external connectors that can be attached to the system 
chassis. Follow the steps below to install the extension brackets. 
 

Note:

 All the ribbon cables used on the extension brackets have a 

red stripe on the Pin-1 side of the cable.

If you are using a four channel speaker system, channel one and 
two are output through the Stereo Line-out, and the rear speaker 
channels three and four are output through Stereo Line-in.
