The LED connections for the GB LAN port are on pins 11 and 12 of JF1. At- tach an LED cable to display network activity. See the table on the right for pin definitions.

HDD LED

The HDD LED connection is located on pins 13 and 14 of JF1. This LED is used to display all IDE and SATA activity. See the table on the right for pin definitions.

Power On LED

The Power On LED connector is lo- cated on pins 15 and 16 of JF1 (use JLED for a 3-pin connector). This connection is used to provide LED indication of power being supplied to the system. See the table on the right for pin definitions.

Chassis Intrusion

The Chassis Intrusion header is des- ignated JL1. Attach an appropriate cable from the chassis to inform you of a chassis intrusion when the chas- sis is opened
