Connection Diagram for Front Panel Header
2.2.2.4.1
Hard Drive Activity LED
Pins 1 and 3 can be connected to an LED to provide a visual indicator that data is
being read from or written to a hard drive.
Proper LED function requires a SATA hard
drive or optical drive connected to an onboard SATA connector.
2.2.2.4.2
Reset Switch
Pins 5 and 7 can be connected to a momentary single pole, single throw (SPST) type
switch that is normally open.
When the switch is closed, the board resets and runs the
POST.
