Front Panel Connector Set (J8) A through F
A. Over-ride Power Button Connector
The power button on the ATX chassis can be used as a
normal power switch as well as a button to activate
Advanced Power Management Suspend mode. This
mode is used for saving electricity when the computer is
not in use for long periods of time. The Soft-OFF by PWR-
BTTN function in BIOS's Power Management Setup
menu must be set to "Delay 4 Sec." to activate this
function. (See section 3-4)
When the Soft-OFF by PWR-BTTN function is enabled,
pushing the power button rapidly will switch the system
to Suspend mode. Any occurence of external activity
such as pressing a key on the keyboard or moving the
mouse will bring the system back to Full-On. Pushing the
button while in Full-On mode for more than 4 seconds
will switch the system completely off. See Over-ride
Power Button Operation diagram.
B. Power Indicator LED Connector
The power indicator LED shows the system's power
status. It is important to pay attention to the correct cable
and pin orientation.
C. Green Switch/Green LED Connector
Some ATX cases provide a Green switch which is used
to put the system in Suspend mode. In Suspend mode,
the power supply to the system is reduced to a trickle,
the CPU clock is stopped, and the CPU core is in its
minimum power state. The system is woken up whenever
the keyboard or mouse is touched. The system resumes
in different ways as defined by Power Management Setup
screen in BIOS.
D. System Reset Switch Connector
This connector should be connected to the reset switch on
the front panel of the system case. The reset switch
allows you to restart the system without turning the
power off.
