Does this motherboard have a front panel HD audio connector?

Yes it does. It's located on the SupremeFX "daughterboard" that sticks up vertically from the board. At the end of that card (directly above where the Z87 chipset rests) are the prongs that lead to the front panel HD audio.

It supports intel HD audio. Howwever, as Intel states in its "features": 1. Intel® High Definition Audio (Intel® HD Audio) requires a system with an appropriate Intel® chipset and a motherboard with an appropriate codec and the necessary drivers installed. System sound quality will vary depending on actual implementation, controller, codec, drivers, and speakers. For more information about Intel® HD Audio, refer to www.intel.com/design/chipsets/hdaudio.htm

I don't recall any instructions, but I think there may have been some on the box. First there are no drivers needed. This unit will fit in a floppy drive slot in your case. It's fairly straight forward. There are four separate cable pairs, 1 for firewire, labeled 1394, 1 for HD audio, and two cables for the four usb ports. Just make sure that your motherboard has usb headers that will work. The cables are fairly long. Hope this helps.

No. My computer case had exactly the same setup. I connected the one 3.0 connection to this cable and connected the cable to a USB 2.0 header on the motherboard. Both front USB ports work fine.

specs page on gigabytes site: 2/4/5.1/7.1-channel * To configure 7.1-channel audio, you have to use an HD front panel audio module and enable the multi-channel audio feature through the audio driver.

You should to install a pci sound card 7.1 . This motherboard not include 7.1 ports

It has the connection for one, but is not compatible you would need a 3.0 converter or a new motherboard. Like Cali I agree the tower case is what comes with the 3.0 port not connected to the motherboard.

basically any modern case that supports Micro-ATX motherboards. a case with front usb 2.0 and 3.0 header cables can probably make use of all the internal headers, as well as a hd audio header (can be set to ac97 in case you use an older case). but besides that, there isn't any "special" requirement from a case for this mobo.

Are you talking about the wiring for the front bay connectors? They are all grouped together accordingly so you should be able to check the case manual to see what each is for and then cross reference that with your motherboard manual to know what connectors on the board to attach them to.

Yes, there are two USB 3.0 inputs as well as a USB 2.0 input on the front panel.

The motherboard uses standard SATA cables, I believe there are a few SATA 2 connectors as well

Yes, it has USB pins so that you can connect the front computer case USB ports to the motherboard.EDIT: Here is the technical documentation from Intel for the board -- http://downloadmirror.intel.com/15049/eng/DP965LT_TechProdSpec.pdf Here is the Intel's page for the board -- http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/highlights/dsktpboards/dp965lt

It does not have a discrete sound card. It does come with integrated audio and audio ports built into the motherboard.

Yes it does. It has a 6-pin PCI-E power connector on the front edge of the board.
