Keyboard and Mouse Connector (CN13)
The PCM-6896 provides a keyboard connector which supports both a keyboard and a PS/2 style mouse. In most cases, especially in embedded applications, a keyboard is not used. The standard PC/AT BIOS will report an error or fail during power-on-self-test (POST) after a reset if the keyboard is not present. The mainboard BIOS Advanced setup menu allows you to select "Present" or "Absent" under the "System Keyboard" section. This allows no- keyboard operation in embedded system applications without the system halting under POST (power-on-self-test).
