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 when connected to a proper Intel standard moth-
erboard header. Connect the 10-pin connector to the motherboard header so
that the blocked pin fits over the missing header pin.
Note: Please check the motherboard manual for the IEEE 1394 header pin lay-
out 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) for 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
The front panel speaker and microphone connection features an Intel-standard
10-pin connector, with 7 additional individual wires and connectors. If your
motherboard supports Intel's standard onboard audio connector, you can plug
the 10-pin connector directly into the board. Otherwise, you'll need to attach
the 7 individual connectors to the motherboard. Here's how:
Locate the internal audio connectors on your motherboard or sound card.
Consult your motherboard or sound card manual for the pin-out positions.
1. Connect the MIC connector to the microphone power pin.
2. Connect the MIC-BIAS connector to the microphone input pin.
3. Connect the AUD GND connector to the ground pin.
4. Connect the FPOUT-R connector to the Front Right Speaker Out Pin.
