System Controls
There are two topics in this section, a explanation of the hard-
ware controls and status indicators that connect from the main-
board to your system case and some information about the parts
of the CMOS Setup Utility that allow you customize some sys-
tem features.
Hardware Controls & Indicators
There are some control features and status indicators that con-
nect from the mainboard to your system case, which is some-
times called the 'Enclosure' or 'Chassis.' These are:
• Power Switch
• Power Status Indicator
• Suspend Switch
• Suspend Status Indicator
• Reset Switch
• Hard Disk Drive Activity Indicator
• Keyboard Lock
All of these case features connect to the mainboard via con-
nector strip J10. Not all system cases have all of these features, so
your system may not have all of them. The functions and op-
tions for these are shown in the table on the next page.
