7. Super 5.1 Channel Audio Effects
This motherboard comes with an ALC650 Codec which supports high quality of 5.1 Channel
audio effect, bringing you a brand new audio experience. On the strength of the innovative
design of ALC650, you're able to use standard line-jacks for surround audio output without
connecting any external module. To apply this function, you have to install the audio driver
in the Bonus Pack CD as well as an audio application supporting 5.1 Channel. Picture
bellow represents the standard location of all speakers in 5.1 Channel sound track. Please
connect the plug of your front speakers to the green “Speaker out” port, rear speakers’ plug
to the blue “Line in” port and both of the center and subwoofer speakers to the red “MIC in”
port.
S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) is a latest audio transfer file format that provides
impressive
quality through optical fiber and allows you to enjoy digital audio instead of
analog. Normally there are two S/PDIF outputs as shown, one for RCA connector, the
most common one used for consumer audio products, and the other for optical connector
with a even better audio quality. Through a specific audio cable, you can connect the
S/PDIF connector to a S/PDIF audio module bearing S/PDIF digital output. However, you
must have a S/PDIF supported speaker with S/PDIF digital input to make the most of this
function.
6. Support Six USB Ports
This motherboard provides six
USB
2.0 ports to connect USB devices such as mouse,
keyboard, modem, printer, etc. There are four ports on the back panel. You can use proper
cables to connect USB devices from back panel or connect USB 2.0 header to the front
panel of chassis.

On the strength of RTL8110S-32 Gigabit LAN controller on board, which is a
highly-integrated Platform LAN Connect device, it provides Gigabits Ethernet for office and
home use. The Ethernet RJ45 connector is located on top of USB connectors. The
right-hand side LED indicates the link mode, it blinks in orange whenever linking to network.
The left-hand side LED indicates the Connecting mode, and it lights in green when
100Mbps LAN is connected (never lights while 10Mbps is connected), but lights in yellow
when Gigabits LAN is connected. To enable or disable this function, you may simply adjust
