Chapter 3: Software support

3.3.2 ASUS Instant Music

The ASUS Instant Music is a BIOS-based audio playback feature that allows you to

play audio CDs without turning on the system power. This feature is supported by

the onboard audio AC’97 CODEC, and requires an optical drive (CD-ROM, DVD-

ROM, or CD-RW).

1. Instant Music only supports CDs in audio format.

2. Instant Music would not work if you installed and enabled an add-on sound

card.

3. Instant Music only supports PS/2 keyboard.

To enable ASUS Instant Music:

1. Connect the analog audio cable from the optical drive (CD-ROM, DVD-ROM,

or CD-RW drive) to the 4-pin CD-In connector (labeled CD1) on the

motherboard. See section “1.12 Connectors” for the connector location.

1. The Scroll Lock LED is fixed to ON after enabling Instant Music.

2. When set to Instant Music mode, the system wake-up features (LAN,

keyboard, mouse, USB) are deactivated. In this case, power up the system

using the power switch.

3. If the system lost connection or did not detect any optical drive, the Instant

Music feature turns OFF (disabled) automatically. A “beep” indicates this

condition.

5. Save your changes and exit BIOS Setup.

If you have only one optical drive (either CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or CD-RW)

installed in the system, you don’t have to set Instant Music CDROM item. BIOS

automatically detects and displays the installed drive type.

2. Turn on the system and enter BIOS by pressing the Delete key during the

Power On Self-Tests (POST).

3. In the Advanced Configuration menu, select the item Instant Music and set

it to Enabled.

4. Highlight the Instant Music CDROM item and press Enter to display the

CD-ROM options. Select the CD-ROM drive that you wish to use for this

feature.

Make sure to connect the CD-ROM audio cable. Otherwise, you cannot control

the audio volume using the Instant Music function keys.
