19) F_AUDIO (Front Panel Audio Header)
The front panel audio header supports High Denition audio (HD). You may connect your chassis front
panel audio module to this header. Make sure the wire assignments of the module connector match the
pin assignments of the motherboard header. Incorrect connection between the module connector and the
motherboard header will make the device unable to work or even damage it.

Some chassis provide a front panel audio module that has separated connectors on each wire
instead of a single plug. For information about connecting the front panel audio module that has
different wire assignments, please contact the chassis manufacturer.
Please visit GIGABYTE's website for details on using the front panel audio header.

Step 2:
Use a screwdriver to remove the screw from GC-Z690I BTB
PLUG. Lift the GC-Z690I BTB PLUG upwards and remove it.
Step 3:
Move the F_AUDIO header out of its default location and route
it via the BTB connector to the bottom edge of the motherboard
as shown on the left.
Step 4:
Insert GC-Z690I BTB PLUG vertically into the BTB connectors
and secure it with the screw. Then screw the heatsink back on.
