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.

• 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]. See section 2.4.2 Chipset for details.

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!

CPU and chassis fan connectors (4-pin CPU_FAN, 3-pin CHA_FAN1)
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.

Only the CPU fan supports the ASUS Q-FAN feature.
