Power on your Nuvo-5095GC Controller
For the flexibility of operation, Nuvo-5095GC series provides three alternatives to power on
your Nuvo-5095GC controller. You can turn on your Nuvo-5095GC controller by pressing
the power button, using an external non-latched switch, or by sending a special LAN packet.
In this section, we illustrate these ways to power on your Nuvo-5095GC controller.
3.10.1 Power on Nuvo-5095GC Using the Power Button
This is the simplest way to turn on your Nuvo-5095GC controller. The power button on the
front panel is a non-latched switch and behaves the ATX-mode on/off control. As DC power
is connected, push the power button will turn on the system as well as the PWR LED
indicator. Push the button 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.
3.10.2 Power on Nuvo-5095GC Using an External Switch
For an application which places Nuvo-5095GC controller inside a cabinet, it’s useful to
control the on/off of the system using an external switch. Nuvo-5095GC 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-5095GC 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).
