2-7 Connector and Jumper Settings

Connectors are used to link the system board with other parts of the system, including
power supply, keyboard, and the various controllers on the front panel of the system
case.

The power supply connector is the last connection to be made while
installing a motherboard. Before connecting the power supply, please
make sure it is not connected to the power source.

All cables that provided by CHAINTECH come with a security-proof.

CN23 / 22 (ATX Power Supply Connector):

The power cord leading from the system's power supply to the
external power source must be the very last part connected when
assembling a system. The ATX power supply provides a single
20-pin connector interface, which incorporates standard +/-5V,

+/-12V, optional 3.3V and Soft-power signals. The Soft
power signal, a 5V trickle supply is continuously supplied
when AC power is available. When the system is in Soft-Off
mode, this trickle supply maintains the system in its
minimum power state.

The ATX 12V power supply has a new +12V (4-pin) and
+5V / 3.3V (6-pin) auxiliary power connector to enable the delivery of more +12
VDC and + 5/ 3.3V VDC current to the motherboard.

Power-On By Modem:

While in Soft-Off state, if an external modem ring-up signal is detected, the system
will be activated and therefore can be remotely accessed. You may enable this
function in BIOS's Power Management Setup menu. (See section 3. 5)

Blinking LED in Suspend Mode:

While in Suspend mode, the LED light on the front panel of your computer will flash.
Suspend mode is entered by pressing the Green Override Power Button on your ATX
case, or by enabling the Power Management and Suspend Mode options in BIOS's
Power Management menu. (See section 3.5)

Poly-fuse Over Current Protection:

The poly-fuse protects the system from dangerous voltages that the system might be
exposed to via keyboards or USB connectors. In case of such an exposure, the
poly-fuse will immediately be disconnected from the circuit just like a normal fuse.

Chapter 2

17

After being disconnected for a certain period of time, the poly-fuse will return to its
normal state and the keyboard or USB connector can function properly again. Unlike
conventional fuses, the poly-fuse will not need to be replaced, relieving users from
such inconveniences.

CN11 (Front Panel Connector):

PWR-SW (Over-ride Power Button Connector):
The power button on the ATX chassis can be used as a
normal power switch as well as a device to activate the
Advanced Power Management Suspend mode. This is a
power-saving mode used for saving electricity when the computer is idle for long
periods of time. The Soft-OFF by PWR-BTTN function in BIOS's Power
Management Setup menu must be set to [Delay 4 Sec.] to activate this function.
When the Soft-OFF by PWR-BTTN function is enabled, pressing the power button
rapidly will switch the system to Suspend mode. Any occurrence of external activities
such as pressing any keys on the keyboard or moving the mouse will bring the system
back to Full-On. Pushing the button while in Full-On mode for more than [4 seconds]
will switch the system completely off. See Over-ride Power Button Operation
diagram.

1. P-LED (Power LED Connector):

The power indicator LED shows the system's power status. It is important to pay
attention to the correct cable and pin orientation (i.e. Be careful not to reverse the
order of these two connectors.)

2. SL-SW (Sleep Switch):

Some ATX cases provide a Sleep switch, which is used to put the system in
Suspend mode. While in Suspend mode, the power supply to the system is reduced
to a trickle, the CPU clock is stopped, and the CPU core is in its minimum power
state. The system is activated whenever the keyboard or mouse is touched. The
system will resume in various ways as defined by Power Management Setup
screen in BIOS.

3. RESET (System Reset Switch Connector):

This connector should be connected to the reset switch on the front panel of the
system case. The reset switch allows you to restart the system without turning the
power off.

4. SPEAKER (Speaker Connector):

This 4-pin connector connects to the case-mounted speakers.
If you want to use the On-board Beep function, as shown in the above figure,
please insert the jumper into this port.

Chapter 2

18

5. HD-LED (IDE - Activity LED Connector):

The IDE- activity LED lights up whenever the system reads/writes to the IDE
devices.

FDD1 (Floppy Connector):

The motherboard provides a standard floppy disk drive connector that
supports 360K, 720K, 1.2M, 1.44M and 2.88M floppy disk types. It is
connected to a floppy disk drive of 34 pins.

IDE 1/2 (IDE Hard-Disk Connector):

The motherboard has a 32-bit Enhanced PCI IDE and
Ultra ATA66/100/133 controller that provides PIO
mode 0~4, Bus Master, and Ultra ATA66/100/133
function. This connector is used for connecting 40 pins of ATAPI devices.
IDE 1 only connects two IDE devices. (Primary Master/Slave)
IDE 2 only connects two IDE devices. (Secondary Master/Slave)

FAN1/2 (CPU/System Connectors):

The board's hardware management is able to detect the CPU
and system fan speed in rpm (revolutions per minute). The
wiring and plugging may vary depending on the manufacturer.
On standard fans, the red is positive (+12V), the black is
ground, and the yellow wire is the rotation signal.

JP1 (CMOS Clear Jumper):

There is a CMOS RAM on board that
has a power supply from external
battery to keep the data and system
configuration. To clear the contents of
the CMOS, please follow the steps below.

1. Disconnect the system power supply from the power source.

2. Set the jumper cap at location [2-3] for <5 seconds>, and then set it back to the
default position.

3. Connect the system's power and then start the system.

4. Enter BIOS's CMOS Setup Utility and choose Load Optimized Defaults.

5. Type [Y] and then press [Enter] to continue.

6. Set the system configuration in the Standard CMOS Setup menu.
