12. S/PDIF Connector
The IrDA connector can be configured to support wireless infrared module. With this module
and application software such as Laplink or Windows 98 Direct Cable Connection, user can
transfer files to or from laptops, notebooks, PDA devices and printers. This connector
supports HPSIR (115.2Kbps, 2 meters) and ASK-IR (56Kbps).
Install the infrared module onto the
IrDA
connector and enable the infrared function from
BIOS Setup, UART mode. Please make sure you have the correct orientation when you
plug in the IrDA connector.

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.

13. Case Open Connector
The “CASE OPEN” header provides chassis intrusion-monitoring function. To make this
function works, you have to enable it in the system BIOS, connect this header to a sensor
somewhere on the chassis. So, whenever the sensor is triggered by lights or by the opening of
the chassis, the system will beep to inform you. Please be informed that this useful function
only applies to advanced chassis, you may purchase an extra sensor, attach it on your chassis,
and make a good use of this function.
