2.8.3.2.1 Hard Drive Activity LED Connector
Pins 1 and 3 can be connected to an LED to provide a visual indicator that data is being read from
or written to a hard drive. Proper LED function requires an IDE hard drive connected to an
onboard IDE connector.
2.8.3.2.2 Reset Switch Connector
Pins 5 and 7 can be connected to a momentary single pole, single throw (SPST) type switch that is
normally open. When the switch is closed, the board resets and runs the POST.
2.8.3.2.3 Power/Sleep/Message Waiting LED Connector
Pins 2 and 4 can be connected to a one- or two-color LED. Table 26 shows the possible states for
a one-color LED. Table 27 shows the possible states for a two-color LED.

NOTE
To use the message waiting function, ACPI must be enabled in the operating system and a
message-capturing application must be invoked.
2.8.3.2.4 Power Switch Connector
Pins 6 and 8 can be connected to a front panel momentary-contact power switch. The switch must
pull the SW_ON# pin to ground for at least 50 ms to signal the power supply to switch on or off.
(The time requirement is due to internal debounce circuitry on the board.) At least two seconds
must pass before the power supply will recognize another on/off signal.
