function, which is almost the same as power-on/off.

The system will do a cold start after the RESET switch is pushed and
released by user. The RESET switch is a 2 PIN connector and should be

will light on when system is powered-on, which is connected to a 3 PIN
connector.

The connector should be connected to 

J5

 of mainboard in correct direction.

3.10. IDE & ATAPI DEVICE INSTALLATION

There are two Enhance PCI IDE ports (

CN6, 7

) on board, which following

ATAPI standard SPEC. Any one IDE port can connected to two ATAPI
devices (IDE Hard Disk, CD-ROM & Tape Driver), so total four ATAPI
devices can exist in a system.

The booting Hard Disk should be the Master device of 1st IDE channel. The

J6

 is the active LED port for ATAPI device.

3.11. PERIPHERAL DEVICE INSTALLATION

After the I/O device installation and jumpers setup, the mainboard can be
mounted into the case and fixed by screw.
