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.
ON/OFF (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.
