JLAN1/2 (Ethernet Ports)

Two Gigabit Ethernet ports (desig- nated JLAN1 and JLAN2) are located beside the COM2 port. These Ethernet ports accept RJ45 type cables.

ATX PS/2 Keyboard and PS/2 Mouse Ports

The ATX PS/2 keyboard and the PS/2 mouse ports are located at J3. The mouse is the top (green) port. See the table on the right for pin definitions.

Chassis Intrusion

A Chassis Intrusion header is located at JL1. Attach the appropriate cable to inform you of a chassis intrusion.

Wake-On-LAN

The Wake-On-LAN header is desig- nated JWOL. See the table on the right for pin definitions. You must have a LAN card with a Wake-On-LAN connector and cable to use the Wake- On-LAN feature.

I2C Header

The JPI2C header is for I2C, which may be used to monitor the status of the power supply. See the table on the right for pin definitions.
