Yeah, I'd just plug in the HD audio connector on the card, that should do it.
If you really want/need 2 seperate devices, you can leave the onboard enabled (if not, disable it in BIOS). Might get a conflict though; having both my card and onboard enabled caused a few BSODs with early Win7 beta.
Btw, some good documentation and nice software, especially for the soundcard. I didn't even know they made soundcards that require additional power though; mine just takes what it needs from the socket.
Copied from the manual. The first point seems critical:
Quote:
- If you want to connect a high-definition front panel audio module to this connector, ensure that the front panel select item in the BIOS is set to [HD Audio]; if you want to connect an AC'97 front panel audio module to this connector; set the item to [AC97]. See page 2-27 for details.
- Make sure the audio device of Sound playback is Realtek High Definition Audio (the name may be different based on the OS). Go to Start > Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices > Sound Playback to configure the setting.

I think the first point just means you need to set which connector you used in the BIOS for proper functionality.
The second point is what was said about configuring a program or OS to use the proper device. It shouldn't be too difficult with just the card in there, but you'd definetly need to double-check if you have several devices (card+onboard for example, but even a single card can present multiple devices to the OS).
Whew, hope it helps.
