2.2.3 Power Button
The power button is a non-latched switch with dual color LED (Blue/ Orange) for
status monitoring : S0, S3 and S5. LED indications of system status are listed
as follow :
To turn on the MTC-2021, press the power button and the blue LED is lighted
up. To turn off the MTC-2021, you can either issue a shutdown command in OS,
or just simply press the power button. In case of system halts, you can press
and hold the power button for 4 seconds to compulsorily shut down the system.
Please note that a 4 seconds interval is kept by the system between two on/
off operations (i.e. once turning off the system, you shall wait for 4 seconds to
initiate another power-on operation).

2.3.4 CN23 mSATA Connector
Both mSATA and Mini PCIe share the same form-factor and similar electrical
pinout assignments on their connectors. There was no clear mechanism to
distinguish if a mSATA drive or a Mini PCIe device is plugged into the socket
until recently that SATA I/O issued an ECN change (ECN #045) to re-define
Pin 43 on mSATA connector as “no connect” instead of “return current path” (or
GND).
When an mSATA drive is inserted, its pin 43 is “no connect”, and the respective
pin on the socket is being pulled-up to logic 1. When a Mini PCIe device is
inserted, its pin 43 forces the respective pin on the socket to ground, or logic 0.

2.3.6 Battery
The real-time clock of MTC-2021 is powered by a lithium battery. It is Equipped
with Panasonic BR2032 190mAh lithium battery. It is recommended that you
not replace the lithium battery on your own. If the battery needs to be changed,
please contact the Vecow RMA service team.

2.4 Jumper Setting
You may congure your card to match the needs of your application by setting
jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge used to close an electric circuit. It consists
of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that
slides over the pins to connect them. To “close” a jumper, you connect the pins
with the clip. To “open” a jumper, you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will
have three pins, labeled Pin 1, Pin 2 and Pin 3. In this case you would connect
either Pin 1 and Pin 2, or Pin 2 and Pin 3.
The figure below is the top view of the MTC-2021 mainboard. It shows the
location of all jumpers.
