20) System Warning Speaker Connector (4-pin SPEAKER)

This 4-pin connector connects to the case-mounted speaker. Two sources
(LINE_OUT and SPEAKER) will allow you to hear system beeps and warn-
ings. Only SPEAKER will allow you to hear system beeps before the integrated
audio has been properly initialized.

21) Keyboard Lock Switch Lead (2-pin KLOCK)

This 2-pin connector connects to the case-mounted key switch to allow key-
board locking.

22) System Power LED Lead (3-1 pin PWRLED)

This 3-1 pin connector connects the system power LED, which lights when the
system is powered on and blinks when it is in sleep mode.

23) System Message LED Lead (2-pin MSG.LED)

This indicates whether a message has been received from a fax/modem. The
LED will remain lit when there is no signal and blink when there is data re-
ceived. This function requires an ACPI OS and driver support.

24) System Management Interrupt Lead (2-pin SMI)

This allows the user to manually place the system into a suspend mode or “Green”
mode, where system activity is decreased to save electricity and expand the life
of certain components when the system is not in use. This 2-pin connector con-
nects to the case-mounted suspend switch.

25) ATX Power Switch Lead (2-pin PWRSW)

The system power is controlled by a momentary switch connected to this lead.
Pressing the button once will switch the system between ON and SOFT OFF.
Pushing the switch while in the ON mode for more than 4 seconds will turn the
system off. The system power LED shows the status of the system’s power.

26) Reset Switch Lead (2-pin RESET)

This 2-pin connector connects to the case-mounted reset switch for rebooting
your computer without having to turn off your power switch. This is a preferred
method of rebooting to prolong the life of the system’s power supply.
