9. Connecting Front Panel Connector Attaching such as power switch, reset switch, HDD LED connector, etc to corresponding pins. 10. Connecting IPMB Connector IPMB offers good support for communication with on-board devices that are accessed on an occasional basis. IPMB's competitive advantage over other low-speed short-distance communication schemes is that its cost and complexity don't scale up with the number of devices on the bus. The IPMB connector comes with foolproof design, please connect it with correct orientation. Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) is a hardware level interface specification, defines a message-based interface to platform monitoring and control function. IPMI’s monitoring abilities enable user to monitor server physical health characteristics such as temperature, voltage, fans, power supplies and chassis. (Optional) 7. ZCR (Zero Channel RAID) Function (DXPL Plus-U) A ZCR card is a PCI card that allows a RAID card to use the onboard SCSI chip, thus lowering cost of RAID solution. A "Zero-channel" RAID adapter is a PCI RAID controller that doesn't have any SCSI channels on board. Instead, it is designed to use the on-board SCSI channels of the motherboard to implement a cost-effective Hardware RAID solution. Please be informed that the green PCI-X slot supports ZCR function.

14. Support the 3rd USB2.0 Channel 11. PC99 Color Coded Back Panel 12. S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) Connector The onboard I/O devices are PS/2 Keyboard, PS/2 Mouse, COM1/Com2, Printer and USB2.0. The view angle of drawing shown here is from the back panel of the housing. The Intel 82545EM integrates Intel’s fourth-generation Gigabit MAC design with fully integrated, physical-layer circuitry to provide a standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet interface for 1000BASE-T and 100BASE-TX applications. The right green LED indicates the link mode, it lights when linking to network and blinking when transferring data in 100Mbps mode. The left yellow LED indicates the transfer mode, and it lights when data is transferring in 1Gbps mode. Yellow/1G Green/link/100 1Gb Ethernet Port PS/2 Keyboard: For standard keyboard, which is using a PS/2 plug. PS/2 Mouse: For PC-Mouse, which is using a PS/2 plug. USB2.0 Port: Available for connecting USB devices. Parallel Port: To connect with SPP/ECP/EPP printer. COM1/COM2: To connect with pointing devices, modem or others serial devices. 1GbE Ethernet Port: To connect RJ-45 Ethernet Cable. Speaker Out: To External Speaker, Earphone or Amplifier. (Support 5.1 Channel) Line-In: Comes from the signal sources, such as CD/Tape player. (Support 5.1 Channel) MIC-In: From Microphone. (Support 5.1 Channel) COM 2 Port COM 1 Port PS/2 Keyboard Connector USB2.0 Port MIC-IN (CENTER/LFE) Line-IN (SURROUND) Speaker- OUT This motherboard provides three USB channels to link USB devices, such as mouse, keyboard, modem, printer, etc. There are two connectors on the PC99 back panel. You can use proper cable to connect other USB connectors to the back panel or front panel of chassis. +5V SBD2- SBD2+ GND KEY +5V SBD3- SBD3+ GND 1 2 2 S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) is a newest audio transfer file format, which provides impressive audio quality through optical fiber and allows you to enjoy digital audio instead of analog audio. Normally there are two S/PDIF outputs as shown, one for RCA connector, the most common one used for consumer audio products, and the other for optical connector with better audio quality. Through a specific audio cable, you can connect the S/PDIF connector to other end of the S/PDIF audio module, which bears S/PDIF digital output. However, you must have a S/PDIF supported speaker/amplifier/decoder with S/PDIF digital input to connect to the S/PDIF digital output to make the most out of this function.

After you finish the setting of jumpers and connect correct cables. Power on and enter the BIOS Setup, press during POST (Power On Self Test). Choose "Load Default Setting" for recommended optimal performance. 16. JP2 Clear CMOS Jumper 15. JP1 Check Password / JP5 SCSI On/Off Jumper Del You can clear CMOS to restore system default setting. To clear the CMOS, follow the procedure below. 1. Turn off the system and unplug the AC power. 2. Remove ATX power cable from connector PWR2. 3. Locate JP2 and short pins 2-3 for a few seconds. 4. Return JP2 to its normal setting by shorting pin 1 & pin 2. 5. Connect ATX power cable back to connector PWR2. Tip: When should I Clear CMOS? 1. Boot fails because of overclocking… 2. Forget password… 3. Troubleshooting… Clear CMOS 1 18. Power-On and Load BIOS Setup Normal Operation (default) 1 This motherboard provides check password function. You can use JP1 to enable or disable this function, which could prevent your system from unauthorized invasion. The factory default setting is set to “Enable” (1-2), and you may disable this function by setting the jumper to 2-3. Moreover, JP5 jumper is used to disable or enable SCSI function. The factory default setting is set to “Enable” (1-2), and you may disable this function by setting the jumper to 2-3. JP1 Password On (Default) 1 JP5 SCSI On (Default) 1 You can use JP3 to configure or recover your BIOS. The factory default setting is set to “Normal” (1-2), and you may configure your BIOS by setting the jumper to 2-3, and recover your BIOS by removing the jumper. Configure 1 Normal (default) 1 1 JP1 Password OFF 1 JP5 SCSI OFF Recovery 1

procedures accordingly to resolve the problem. 19. BIOS version BIOS V4.1 R1.02 EN RAS BIOS version can be found on upper left corner of first boot screen (POST screen). For example: BIOS Version : R1.02 Jan 17, 2003 Part Number and Serial Number The Part Number and Serial number are printed on bar code label. You can find this bar code label on the outside packing, on PCI slot or on component side of PCB. For example: P/N: 91.88110.201 is part number, S/N: 91949378KN73 is serial number. Part No. Serial No. Part No. Serial No. Make sure if the jumper settings for CPU and DRAMs are correct. Clear CMOS. Install the VGA card. Then connect your monitor and keyboard. The problem was probably caused by power supply or motherboard failure. Please contact your reseller or local distributor for repairing. Perhaps your VGA card or monitor is defective. No Yes No Yes It is very possible that your keyboard is defective. During system rebooting, press Del to enter BIOS Setup. Choose “Load Setup Default". The problem should be caused by the IDE cables or HDD itself. Re-install Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows NT. Yes Yes Turn off the power and unplug the AC power cable, then remove all of the addon cards and cables, including VGA, IDE, FDD, COM1, COM2 and Printer. Turn on the power, and check if the power supply and CPU fan work properly. Start Check if there is display. Press Ctrl, and Alt key at the same time, hold them and then press Del to see if the system reboots. Turn off the system and re-connect the IDE cable. Check if the system can reboot successfully. End No No
