Power Good J71

The Power Good output generated by the CPLD must be high level to allow the module to start. Some modules may
provide direct power-on support if VCC gets connected and PWR_OK (COM Exress pin B24) is open or at high level. To
test this functionality configuration jumper J71 can be opened to disconnect Power Good.
