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 where it is only applied to those IDE drives directly attached to the system board. IR (Infrared Connector) This connector is used to attach to an infrared sensing device.

SLP (Sleep/Green Button) This connector is used to conserve energy by powering down the monitor and the hard disk when is not in use. To configure this option, you need to connect a button from the front panel to this sleep button. Depressing the button will power down the monitor and the 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 pulled 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
