8) F_AUDIO (Front Panel Audio Header)

The front panel audio header supports High Denition audio (HD). You may connect your chassis front

panel audio module to this header. Make sure the wire assignments of the module connector match the

pin assignments of the motherboard header. Incorrect connection between the module connector and the

motherboard header will make the device unable to work or even damage it.

Some chassis provide a front panel audio module that has separated connectors on each wire

instead of a single plug. For information about connecting the front panel audio module that has

different wire assignments, please contact the chassis manufacturer.

9) SPEAKER (Speaker Header)

Connects to the speaker on the chassis front panel. The system reports system startup status by issuing

a beep code. One single short beep will be heard if no problem is detected at system startup.
