3.10.2 Power on Using an External Non-latched Switch
For an application which places Nuvo-5000 controller inside a cabinet, it’s useful to control
the on/off of the system using an external switch. Nuvo-5000 series provides a 2x5, 2.0mm
pitch wafer connector (for detail, please refer to section 2.2.5) for connecting a non-latched
switch and behaves ATX-mode power on/off control. The external non-latched switch acts
exactly the same as the power button on the front panel. To power on Nuvo-5000 controller
using an external non-latched switch (ATX-mode), please follow the steps described below.
1. Prepare a non-latched switch with a 2x5, 2.0mm pitch wafer terminal. Note that the
switch must be connected to pin#1 and pin#2 (polarity is negligible).
2. Connect the wafer terminal to the wafer connector on the front panel of the Nuvo-5000
controller.
3. Push the non-latched switch will turn on the system (the PWR LED indicator on the
front panel is on at the same time). Push the non-latched switch when system is on will
turn off the system. If your operating system supports ATX power mode (i.e. Microsoft
Windows or Linux), push the power button causes a pre-defined system behavior, such
as shutdown or hibernation.
