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 buy
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 a non-Intel standard audio connection, you will need to plug the 7 individual
connectors into the motherboard. See instructions 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.
2. Microphone power: Connect the MIC-BIAS connector to this pin.
3. Ground pin: Connect the AUD GND connector to this pin.
4. Front right speaker out pin: Connect the FPOUT-R connector to this pin.
5. Front right speaker out pin: Connect the FPOUT-L connector to this pin.
6. Rear right speaker out pin: Connect the RET-R connector to this pin.
Rear left speaker out pin: Connect RET-L connector to this pin.
