Parallel Port Connector and Serial Port Connector (UART1, UART2)
The parallel port connector can be connected to a parallel device such as a printer, while

mouse. You can enable/disable them and choose the IRQ or I/O address in “Integrated
Peripherals” from AWARD BIOS SETUP.

MIDI/Joystick connector (option)
The Line-in jack can be connected to devices such as a cassette or minidisc player for
playback or recording. The Microphone-in jack can be connected to a microphone for voice
input. The Speaker-out jack allows you to connect speakers or headphones for audio
output from the internal amplifier.
The MIDI/Joystick connector allows you to connect a game joystick or a MIDI device.
Note: The jacks and the MIDI/Joystick connector shown above are available for
Advance 10B mainboard with AC’97 codec only.

button should be pressed for more than 4 seconds before the system powers
