Chapter 1 Motherboard Description Self-Test when the computer cannot use the video interface. The speaker is not connected to the audio subsystem and does not receive output from the audio subsystem. RST (Reset Button) This connector can be attached to a momentary SPST switch. This switch is usually open and when closed will cause the motherboard to reset and run the POST (Power On Self Test). POW-LED (Power LED Connector) This connector can be attached to an LED on the front panel of a computer case. The LED will illuminate while the computer is powered on. HLED (Hard Drive LED Connector) This connector can be attached to an LED on the front panel of a computer case. The LED will flicker during disk activity. This disk activity only applies to those IDE drives directly attached to the system board. IR (Infrared Connector) This connector is used to attach to an infrared sensing device. After the IrDA interface is configured, connectionless data transfer to and from portable devices such as laptops, PDAs is possible. SLP (Sleep/Green Button) This connector is used to conserve energy by powering down the monitor and the hard disk when not in use. To configure this option, you need to connect a button from the front panel to this connector. Depressing the button will power down the monitor and hard drives until the system is invoked by any keyboard activity, mouse activity, modem activity or when the sleep button is depressed again. APM (Advanced Power Management) must be enabled in the system BIOS and the APM driver must be loaded. PWR (Power Button) This connector can be attached to a front panel power switch. The switch must pull the Power Button pin to ground for at least 50 ms to signal the power supply to switch on or off. (The time required is due to internal debounce circuitry on the system board). At least two seconds must pass before the power supply will recognize another on/off signal. 1-19

Motherboard Description

Self-Test when the computer cannot use the video interface. The speaker
is not connected to the audio subsystem and does not receive output from
the audio subsystem.
RST (Reset Button)
This connector can be attached to a momentary SPST switch. This switch
is usually open and when closed will cause the motherboard to reset and
run the POST (Power On Self Test).
POW-LED (Power LED Connector)
This connector can be attached to an LED on the front panel of a
computer case.
The LED will illuminate while the computer is powered
on.
HLED (Hard Drive LED Connector)
This connector can be attached to an LED on the front panel of a
computer case.
The LED will flicker during disk activity. This disk
activity only applies to those IDE drives directly attached to the system
board.
IR (Infrared Connector)
This connector is used to attach to an infrared sensing device. After the
IrDA interface is configured, connectionless data transfer to and from
portable devices such as laptops, PDAs is possible.
SLP (Sleep/Green Button)
This connector is used to conserve energy by powering down the monitor
and the hard disk when not in use. To configure this option, you need to
connect a button from the front panel to this connector.
Depressing the
button will power down the monitor and hard drives until the system is
invoked by any keyboard activity, mouse activity, modem activity or when
the sleep button is depressed again. APM (Advanced Power Management)
must be enabled in the system BIOS and the APM driver must be loaded.
PWR (Power Button)
This connector can be attached to a front panel power switch. The switch
must pull the Power Button pin to ground for at least 50 ms to signal the
power supply to switch on or off. (The time required is due to internal
debounce circuitry on the system board). At least two seconds must pass
before the power supply will recognize another on/off signal.
