BDM-610000050 Rev A Chapter 3: Connecting the cpuModule 47
External Power Management (CN12)An external power management connector (CN12) is available for external devices to wake the system from low
power states. Some low power modes require that +5 V standby power is applied to the cpuModule during the
wake event.
For more information on power management, including a description of the board’s supported wake options,
refer to the Power Management section on page 66.
Optional RTC Battery Input (CN13)The optional RTC battery input is the connection for an external backup battery. This batter y is used by the
cpuModule when system power is removed in order to preserve the date and time in the real time clock.
Connecting a battery is only required to maintain time when power is completely removed from the cp uModule.
A battery is not required for board operation.
Fan Power, +5 V (CN1 4)If a fan is required to c ool the cpuMo dule, it can b e wired to CN14, which provides a continuous connection to
+5 V and ground.
