Using Your Mainboard
This section covers the system control features and status in-
dicators that connect to the mainboard, some of the hardware
features and provides an overview of the software that comes
with or is built-into the mainboard.
System Controls
There are two topics in this section, a explanation of the hard-
ware controls and status indicators that connect from the main-
board to your system case and some information about the parts
of the CMOS Setup Utility that allow you customize some sys-
tem features.
Hardware Controls & Indicators
There are some control features and status indicators that con-
nect from the mainboard to your system case, which is some-
times called the ‘Enclosure’ or ‘Chassis.’ These are:
•
Power Status Indicator
•
Suspend Switch
•
Suspend Status Indicator
•
Reset Switch
•
Keyboard Lock
•
Hard Disk Drive Activity Indicator
•
Power Switch
All of these case features connect to the mainboard via con-
nector J3. Not all system cases have all of these features, so your
system may not have all of them. The functions and options for
these are shown in the table on the next page.
