Utility Interface (J18)

Power-On – This control signal is provided externally by connecting ground to pin-1 on the Utility connector (J18).

Reset Switch – This signal is provided externally through a switch by connecting ground to pin-3 on the Utility connector (J18). This signal line is shared with Reset Switch (SW1).

PC-Beep Speaker – This output signal from the Southbridge (VT82C686B) is fed to pin-5 of the Utility connector (J18), and in conjunction with the +5V (pin-4), drives an external PC speaker. The PC-Beep Speaker signal is also fed to the on board Audio CODEC to provide a PC-beep signal for the Line out connections.

Reset Switch (SW1)

The reset switch (SW1), located on the board edge, provides an internal reset signal (momentary ground) to the ReadyBoard 700. The reset switch (SW1) shares the reset signal line with pin-3 of the Utility interface (J18).

Keyboard/Mouse Interface (J16)

The PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse signal lines, also fully PC/AT compatible, share the same mini-DIN connector (J16). A PS/2 Y-cable connects to the PS/2 connector (J16), on the board edge.

 

NOTE

Either device can be connected to either of the connectors on the Y-cable.

 

 

 

The Southbridge senses where each device is connected and provides the

 

 

 

appropriate signals for both.
