Onboard Power LED

An onboard Power LED header is lo- cated at JLED. This Power LED header is connected to the Control Panel header (JF1) to indicate the status of system power. See the table on the right for pin definitions.

Power Supply I2C Connector

The Power Supply (I2C) connector is located at JPI2C on the motherboard. This connector monitors the status of the power supply, fan and system tempera- ture. See the table on the right for pin definitions.

Wake-On-LAN

The Wake-On-LAN header is located at JWOL on the motherboard. See the table on the right for pin definitions. (You must also have a LAN card with a Wake-On-LAN connector and cable to use this feature.)
