Connecting the ATX Reset Option for the ATXWDT

The ATXWDT uses the ATX Power supply to reset the computer. The ATXWDT sends a 5 volt, 10 second signal on the PS-ON data line to turn off the computer for 10 seconds. Then when this signal goes back to zero the computer turns back on. The ATX daughter board also allows the computer to bypass the ON/OFF button. Setting the jumper to ON/OFF will allow the ON/OFF button to work as normal. Setting the jumper to ALWAYS ON will bypass the ON/OFF button, leaving the computer always on.

1.Unplug the computer from the outlet socket.

2.Press the release tab on the connector to disconnect the power cable from the motherboard.

3.Set the Jumper to ON/OFF or ALWAYS ON.

4.Plug the 20-pin connector of the jumper wire into the motherboard’s power connector.

5.Plug the 3-pin connector of the jumper wire into ATX CONNECTOR jumper of the ATXWDT.

6.Plug the power cable into the header on the jumper wire.
