Does the A8N32-SLI have an onboard speaker?

I'll be getting an A8N32-SLI board Tuesday and I was wondering if it has an onboard speaker. I looked over the manual but it doesn't appear to have one. The front panel headers has a connection for a speaker so I assume that it doesn't.

Im asking because if it does, I can remove the case speaker and make a little more room for routing some wires.

From the looks of the picture below it doesn't appear so. It looks like there is a place for one but there isn't actually a speaker there but I'm no expert.

Thanks for any info.

I noticed one more thing about that board. Instead of saying "floppy" for the floppy connector, it says "flopply".
 
The dual-inline header in the lower left hand corner of your picture (the one with multiple colors) provides a standard 4-pin speaker connection. This header is utilized for the power switch, reset, led indicators, etc where each colored area on the header is a separate function. The manual that comes with the board details these connections.

The speaker is really only useful during board bringup for diagnostic purposes (beep error codes). As my case did not have a speaker to begin with, I did not use the speaker connection (but would have hooked up a speaker temporarily if I had problems that prevented the board from comming up into the bios).
