  “ok”. Choose “2CH”, “4CH”, “6CH”, or “8CH” and then you are allowed to select “Realtek HDA  

  Primary output” to use Rear Speaker, Central/Bass, and Front Speaker, or select “Realtek         

  HDA Audio 2nd output” to use front panel audio.    

*** eSATA3 connector supports SATA Gen3 in cable 1M.

**** HDMI is backwards compatible with DVI. VGA/HDMI port can function similarly as DVI port 

       by applying the bundled HDMI to DVI adapter. Please connect the HDMI to DVI adapter to 

       the VGA/HDMI port on the I/O panel and then connect the DVI-D monitor cable to the VGA/

       DVI-D connector on the adpater.

       For PS/2 Keyboard users, it is recommended to apply the adapter on HDMI2. If HDMI1 is

       connected to the adapter, please use USB Keyboard and do not use the PS/2 Keyboard

       port. For the other users, apply it either on HDMI1 or HDMI2.
