headers so that the blocked pin fits over the missing header pin.
Note: Please check your motherboard manual for your USB header pin layout and make sure it
matches the attached table. If it does not match this Intel standard, please call Antec customer
support at (800) 22ANTEC (North America) or at +31 (0) 10 462-2060 (Europe) to buy a USB
adapter. This adapter will allow you to connect the front USB to your motherboard on a
pin-by-pin basis.
CONNECTING THE IEEE 1394 (FIREWIRE®, I.LINK®) PORT
You will find a single 10-pin connector on a cable attached to the front IEEE 1394 connection.
This is an Intel standard connector, which is keyed so that it can't be accidentally reversed as long
as it is connected to a proper Intel standard motherboard header. Connect the 10-pin connector
to your motherboard header so that the blocked pin fits over the missing header pin.
Note: Please check your motherboard manual for your IEEE 1394 header pin layout and make sure
it matches the attached table. If you intend to connect the front FireWire port to an IEEE 1394
add-on card that comes with an external-type IEEE1394 connector, please call Antec customer
service at (800) 22ANTEC (North America) or +31 (0) 10 462-2060 (Europe) to purchase an adapter.
This adapter will allow you to connect the front IEEE 1394 port to the external-type connector.
CONNECTING THE AUDIO PORTS
There is an Intel standard 10-pin connector (with 7 individual wires with connectors) coming out
from the front panel speaker and microphone connection. If your motherboard supports Intel's
standard onboard audio connector, you can plug in the 10-pin connector directly onto the board.
For non-Intel standard audio connection, you need to plug the 7 individual connectors to the
motherboard. See instruction below:
Locate the internal audio connectors from your motherboard or sound card. Consult your
motherboard or sound card manual for the pin-out positions.
1. Microphone Signal Pin: Connect the MIC connector to this pin.
