2.6-K. Soft Power Connector Installation

The soft power connector is part of the Front Panel jumper block J12 (pins 6 and 8). This board uses the

chipset for power management, including turning on and off the system. If the power button function

option in the BIOS Power Management menu is set to “On/Off”, pressing the power button once after the

BIOS has booted up will turn the system on and off. If the power button function is set to Suspend, press-

ing the power button once will wake up the system or send it to Suspend mode. In this case, you cannot

turn the system off unless you shut down through the Windows operating system or you hold the power

button down for four seconds (BIOS-dependent feature).

2.6-L. Hardware Reset Switch Connector Installation

The reset switch on your chassis case provides you with the Hardware Reset function, which is the same

as power on/off, except that the system will immediately execute a cold start after the reset button is

pushed. The reset connector is part of the Front Panel jumper block J12 (pins 5 and 7).
