Utility 2 Interface (J24)

The Utility 2 interface consists of a 24-pin connector used to interface various signals to the external board with external connections, or directly to the respective connector such as, the mouse, etc. Table 3-19 gives the pin outs and interface signals for Utility 2 interface (J24).

•PS/2 Mouse signals

•SMBus signals

•USB signals for USB ports 1 and 2

•Power button signal

Mouse Interface

The signal lines for a PS/2 mouse are provided through the Utility 2 interface (J24).

System Management Bus (SMBus)

The Southbridge chip, VT82C686B, contains both a host and slave SMBus port; but the host cannot access the slave internally. The slave port allows an external master access to the Southbridge through the connector (J24). The master contained in the VT82C686B is used to communicate with the SEEP, SDRAM EPROM, MAX1617, and the clock generator. Table 3-17 gives the addresses for these devices with the components and corresponding binary addresses of the SMBus.
