**Official ABIT IP-35 Pro Review/Overclock/Guide Thread**

[evaninspain]

Hi… I realize that this is probably not the right place for this message but I am building my first computer with an Abit IP-35 Pro and… I’m scared that I’m going to do something wrong and screw it up. I installed the CPU and heat sink but got a bit confused with the front and rear panel wires, especially related to the polarity. I had a few other questions as well. Is there a kind soul familiar with this MB who could help me via IM or phone? It shouldn’t take long for someone who knows what they are doing. Thanks!

the manual for the IP35 Pro is excellent with text description and diagrams to show the correct orientation...the audio, 1394 and USB cables can only be plugged in one way.

the manual for the IP35 Pro is excellent with text description and diagrams to show the correct orientation...the audio, 1394 and USB cables can only be plugged in one way.

Case: Cooler Master Praetorian

Front panel has the following cables:

1) One thick grey cable with blue connector at end (connector has 5 pins on one side and 4 on the other). It looks like this might be the IEEE1394.
2) Two medium grey cables with a black connector at end (same type of connector as #1 above with 5 pins on one side and 4 on the other).
3) Two small grey cables with individual pins at the end with the following labels:

Small grey cable #1
a) MIC-POWER
b) MIC-IN
c) GROUND
Small grey cable #2
a) GROUND
b) R-OUT
c) L-OUT
d) L-RET
e) R-RET

Is my front panel a (HD AUDIO) or a (AC’97 AUDIO)? This doesn’t match up with the manual instructions on page 1.15 (section 1.8.6)..

I also have the standard rear panel that comes with the Abit IP-35 Pro MB that has three thick cables, two with red connectors and one blue connector

AND, I’m trying to connect a USB card reader with a single grey cable with a black connector at the end (connector has 5 pins on one side and 4 on the other).

WHERE DO I PUT ALL THESE CABLES ON THE MOTHERBOARD???
