Component Operation

External Power Jack

Board header J2 is a power receptacle from a standard laptop power
supply.

Table 2–8

shows that the external power switch (SW1) enables the

external power supply.

If both the external power and the PCI power are supplied at the
same time, the board draws power from the external power
supply for all power rails except the 5.0-V power rail. Therefore,
when the PCI 3.3-V circuit transistors detect external power
supply voltage, they disable the power from the PCI connector.
The external power switch does not control the power from the
PCI connector.

Test Points

shows the board’s power supply test points.
