Power Connectors
ATX12V-compliant power supplies can turn off the computer power through system
control.
When an ACPI-enabled computer receives the correct command, the power
supply removes all non-standby voltages.
When resuming from an AC power failure, the computer returns to the power state it
was in before power was interrupted (either on or off).
The computer’s response can
be set by using the Last Power State feature in the BIOS Setup program’s Boot menu.
The Desktop Board has three power connectors.
See Figure 30 on page 57 for the
location of the power connectors.
