Connecting the ATX Reset Option for the ATXWDT

The ATXWDT uses the ATX Power supply to reset the
computer. The ATXWDT sends a 5 volt, 10 second signal on the
PS-ON data line to turn off the computer for 10 seconds. Then when
this signal goes back to zero the computer turns back on. The ATX
daughter board also allows the computer to bypass the ON/OFF
button. Setting the jumper to ON/OFF will allow the ON/OFF button
to work as normal. Setting the jumper to ALWAYS ON will bypass
the ON/OFF button, leaving the computer always on.
1. Unplug the computer from the outlet socket.
2. Press the release tab on the connector to disconnect the power
cable from the motherboard.
3. Set the Jumper to ON/OFF or ALWAYS ON.
4. Plug the 20-pin connector of the jumper wire into the
motherboard's power connector.
5. Plug the 3-pin connector of the jumper wire into ATX
CONNECTOR jumper of the ATXWDT.
6. Plug the power cable into the header on the jumper wire.
