• PLED (Power LED):
System Status LED
S0 On
S3/S4/S5 Off
Connects to the power status indicator on the
chassis front panel. The LED is on when the
system is operating. The LED is off when the
system is in S3/S4 sleep state or powered
off (S5).
The front panel design may differ by chassis. A front panel module mainly consists of power switch, reset switch,

7) SPDIF_O(S/PDIFOutHeader)
This header supports digital S/PDIF Out and connects a S/PDIF digital audio cable (provided by expansion cards)
for digital audio output from your motherboard to certain expansion cards like graphics cards and sound cards.
For example, some graphics cards may require you to use a S/PDIF digital audio cable for digital audio output
from your motherboard to your graphics card if you wish to connect an HDMI display to the graphics card and
have digital audio output from the HDMI display at the same time.
For information about connecting the S/PDIF digital audio cable, carefully read the manual for your expansion card.

the way to turn off your system using the power switch (refer to Chapter
2, "BIOS Setup," "Power Management," for more information).
• HD (Hard Drive Activity LED):
Connects to the hard drive activity LED on the chassis front panel. The
LED is on when the hard drive is reading or writing data.
• RES (Reset Switch):
Connects to the reset switch on the chassis front panel. Press the reset switch to restart the computer
if the computer freezes and fails to perform a normal restart.
• NC:No connection.
• A RAID 0 or RAID 1 conguration requires at least two hard drives.
If more than two hard drives are to be used, the total number of
hard drives must be an even number.
• A RAID 10 conguration requires four hard drives.
