Chapter 5: Advanced Motherboard Setup

PW_ON Connector

The PW_ON connector is located on pins 1 and 2 of JF1. This header should be connected to the chassis power button, which you may also configure to put the system into suspend mode (see the Power Button Mode setting in BIOS). To turn off the power when the suspend mode is en- abled, depress the power button for at least 4 seconds. See the table on the right for pin defini- tions.

Reset Connector

The reset connector is located on pins 3 and 4 of JF1 and attaches to the reset switch on the com- puter chassis. See the table on the right for pin definitions.

Overheat/Fan Fail LED

Connect an LED to the OH connec- tion on pins 7 and 8 of JF1 to pro- vide advanced warning of chassis overheating. Refer to the table on the right for pin definitions.

LAN1/LAN2 LED

The LAN1 and LAN2 LED connec- tions for the Ethernet ports are lo- cated on pins 9 and 10 (for JLAN2) and 11 and 12 (for JLAN1) of JF1. Attach LAN LED cables to display network activity. Pin defi- nitions are shown at right.
