Pin#3 to pin#10 are used to output the system status including power, HDD, and watchdog
timer status. Pin#1 and pin#2 are used to turn on or turn off the system remotely by
connecting an external switch. Users should connect a non-latched switch to Ctrl+/Ctrl- as it
acts exactly the same as the power button on the front panel. For detail information of using
remote on/off control function, please refer to section 3.10.2.
The status LED output has a built-in series-resistor and provides 3.3V, 10mA current, which
means you can use these pins to directly drive an external LED indicator.
2.2.6 USB 3.0 Connectors
Nuvo-5000 series offers four USB 3.0 (SuperSpeed USB) ports on its front panel. They are
implemented by native xHCI (eXtensible Host Controller Interface) controller in Q170
chipset and are compatible with USB 3.0, USB 2.0, USB 1.1 and USB 1.0 devices. Legacy
USB support is also provided so you can use USB keyboard/mouse in DOS environment.
Due to the nature that XHCI driver is not included natively in Windows 7, you may
encounter the issue of USB keyboard/mouse not working when installing Windows 7.
Neousys offers a Windows-based batch file and step-by-step guide to help you. Please
refer to Appendix A for information of installing Windows 7 on Nuvo-5000 series.
