Antec 300 and K9A2 Platinum

In the manual, it mentions both Azalia (I assume HD Audio?), and AC'97 front-panel audio, however, it doesn't show both on the mobo diagram, it only shows one audio header. It does show that the AC'97 requires two jumpers across it in order for the audio to come out of the rear audio ports.

On the mobo itself, there is also only one audio header, and it lacks those jumpers. Am I to assume that the mobo header is the Azalia header? It's not labeled as to whether it's AC'97 or HD Audio.

The Antec 300 has front-panel audio jacks, and it has TWO sets of connectors, one is for HD Audio, and one is for AC'97.

The question is, what is the header on the motherboard, and therefore, which audio header connector do I use to connect the case?

The machine is probably going to be my WHS box, and run F@H GPU on it, so in theory I won't ever need the FP audio jacks, so this isn't critical, but I think it's nice to hook everything up properly, when possible.
 
The mobo has one header that will do both controlled in the bios, software may do this also, I don't recall. The key is the way the jacks are wired, the "jumpers" are in the plug from the front panel.
