1.1.7 USB 3.0 connector (20-1 pin USB3_12)
This connector allows you to connect a USB 3.0 module for additional USB 3.0 front or
rear panel ports. With an installed USB 3.0 module, you can enjoy all the benefits of
USB 3.0 including faster data transfer speeds of up to 5 Gbps, faster charging time for
USB-chargeable devices, optimized power efficiency, and backward compatibility with
USB 2.0.
1.1.8 Intel® Q270 Serial ATA 6.0Gb/s connectors (7-pin SATA6G_1~4)
These connectors connect to Serial ATA 6.0 Gb/s hard disk drives via Serial ATA
Gb/s signal cables
NOTE: When using PCI ca
rds on shared slots, ensure that the drivers support “Share
IRQ” or that the cards do not need IRQ assignments. Otherwise, conflicts will arise
between the two PCI groups, making the system unstable and the card inoperable.
1.1.9
Chassis intrusion connector (4-1 pin CHASSIS)
This connector is for a chassis-mounted intrusion detection sensor or switch. Connect
one end of the chassis intrusion sensor or switch cable to this connector. The chassis
intrusion sensor or switch sends a high-level signal to this connector when a chassis
component is removed or replaced. The signal is then generated as a chassis intrusion
event.
By default, the pins labelled “Intruder” are shorted with a jumper cap. Remove the
jumper caps only when you intend to use the chassis intrusion detection feature.

Clear RTC RAM (2-pin CLRTC)
This header allows you to clear the CMOS RTC RAM data of the system setup
information such as date, time, and system passwords
To erase the RTC RAM:
1 Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
2 Use a metal object such as a screwdriver to short the two pins.
3 Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
4 Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to re-
enter data
1.1.11
Front panel audio connector (10-1 pin AAFP)
This connector is for a chassis-mounted front panel audio I/O module that supports
either HD Audio or legacy AC`97 audio standard. Connect one end of the front panel
audio I/O module cable to this connector.
NOTE: We recommend that you connect a high-definition front panel audio module to
this connector to avail of the motherboard’s high-definition audio capability.
If you want to connect a high-definition front panel audio module to this connector, set
the Front Panel Type item in the BIOS setup to [HD Audio]. If you want to connect an
AC’97 front panel audio module to this connector, set the item to [AC97]. By default, this
connector is set to [HD Audio
