13. Support 10/100 Mbps LAN onboard
On the strength of Realtek 8101L LAN controller on board, this motherboard provides
10/100 Mbps Ethernet for office and home use. The Ethernet RJ45 connector is located
on top of USB connectors. The orange LED indicates the link mode, it lights when linking
to network. The green LED indicates the transfer mode and it lights when data is
transferring in 100 Mbps. To enable or disable this function, you may simply adjust it
through BIOS.
If the housing has been designed with an audio port on the front panel, you’ll be able to
connect onboard audio to front panel through this connector. By the way, please remove
5-6 and 9-10 jumper caps from the Front Audio Connector before connecting the cable.
Please do not remove these 5-6 and 9-10 yellow jumper caps if there’s no audio port on
the front panel.

To connect a Serial ATA disk, you have to have a 7-pin serial ATA cable. Connect two ends
of the serial ATA cable to the serial ATA header on the motherboard and the disk. Like
every other traditional disk, you also have to connect a power cable. Please be noted that
it is a jumper free implement; you don’t need to set jumpers to define a master or slave
disk. When connecting two serial ATA disks, the system will automatically take the one
connected to “Serial ATA 1” header as a master disk.
