19) Reset Switch Lead (2-pin RESET)
This 2-pin connector connects to the case-mounted reset switch for rebooting
your computer without having to turn off your power switch. This is a preferred
method of rebooting to prolong the life of the system’s power supply.
20) System Power LED Lead (3-1 pin PWR.LED)
This 3-1 pin connector connects the system power LED, which lights when the
system is powered on and blinks when it is in sleep mode.
21) ATX Power Switch Lead (2-pin PWR.SW)
The system power is controlled by a momentary switch connected to this lead.
Pressing the button once will switch the system between ON and SOFT OFF.
Pushing the switch while in the ON mode for more than 4 seconds will turn the
system off. The system power LED shows the status of the system’s power.
22) Hard Disk Activity LED Lead (2-pin IDELED)
This connector supplies power to the cabinet’s hard disk or IDE activity LED.
Read and write activity by devices connected to the Primary and/or Secondary
IDE connectors will cause the LED to light up.
23) ATX Power Supply Connector (20-pin block ATXPWR)
This connector connects to an ATX power supply. The plug from the power sup-
ply will only insert in one orientation because of the different hole sizes. Find the
proper orientation and push down firmly making sure that the pins are aligned.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure that your ATX power supply can supply at least 10mA
on the +5-volt standby lead (+5VSB). You may experience difficulty in power-
ing ON your system if your power supply cannot support the load. For Wake-
On-LAN support, your ATX power supply must supply at least 720mA +5VSB.
