Note:
- P23, J12, and P24 have cable detects. If this pin is not connected to Ground, the system will stop during bootup and show errors that the audio, 1394, and USB cables are not installed. Pressing F1 will cause the system to continue and boot normally. If these cable detect pins are connected to Ground, the system will think the cables are installed and boot without showing errors.
