The integrated rear I/O panel provides standard connectivity for everyday peripherals. From top to bottom, left to right, it features:
. Since it is an OEM board manufactured by ECS for Acer, a dedicated retail manual is rarely available, but the following technical specifications and pinout guides provide all the essential information for setup or repairs. The Retro Web 🛠️ Key Specifications LGA 1155 (Supports 2nd and 3rd Gen Intel Core i3/i5/i7) Intel Q67 Express
The Q65 chipset natively supports 2nd Generation Intel "Sandy Bridge" processors (e.g., Core i5-2400, Core i7-2600). Do not assume 3rd Generation "Ivy Bridge" processors (e.g., i5-3470) will work unless you have explicitly verified that the motherboard has the latest updated BIOS.
Legacy mouse (green) and keyboard (purple) ports.
: Secure the I/O shield into the back of your PC case. Lower the motherboard onto the pre-installed case standoffs. Secure the board with standard chassis screws.
: Uses a standard 24-pin ATX main power connector and a 4-pin ATX 12V CPU power connector.
Located on the right edge of the board. Supplies power to the chipset, memory, and expansion slots.
The front panel audio header is a standard 9-pin block (Intel HD Audio standard) with pin 8 missing as a key. Plug your chassis HD Audio connector directly into this header to enable the front headphone and microphone jacks. 4. Step-by-Step Installation and Setup
Plug the power supply back in and turn on the computer. The BIOS settings will be reverted to factory defaults. 5. Back I/O Panel Connectivity
