Connecting the USB Ports
You will find a single 10-pin connector on a cable attached to the front USB ports.
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 the motherboard headers so that the blocked pin
fits over the missing header pin.
Note:
Please check the motherboard manual for the USB header pin layout and
make sure it matches the attached table. If it does not match this Intel standard,
please call Antec customer support at (800) 22ANTEC (North America) or at
+31 (0) 10 462-2060 (Europe) to buy a USB adapter. This adapter will allow you
to connect the front USB to the motherboard on a pin-by-pin basis.

Connecting the Audio Ports
There is an Intel standard 10-pin connector (with 7 individual wires with connec-
tors) coming out from the front panel speaker and microphone connection. If the
motherboard supports Intel’s standard onboard audio connector, you can plug in
the 10-pin connector directly onto the board. For non-Intel standard audio connec-
tion, you need to plug the 7 individual connectors to the motherboard. See instruc-
tion below:
Locate the internal audio connectors from the motherboard or sound card. Consult
the 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 Left 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.
7. Rear Left Speaker Out Pin: Connect RET-L connector to this pin.
