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.

• 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].

CPU fan connector (4-pin CPU_FAN)
The fan connectors support cooling fans of 350 mA ~ 2000 mA (24 W max.) or a total

of 1 A ~ 7 A (84 W max.) at +12V. Connect the fan cables to the fan connectors on the

motherboard, ensuring that the black wire of each cable matches the ground pin of the

connector.

Do not forget to connect the fan cables to the fan connectors. Insufficient air flow inside the

system may damage the motherboard components. These are not jumpers! Do not place

jumper caps on the fan connectors!

Only the CPU_FAN

connector support the ASUS

Advanced Q-Fan feature.
