This port is the MegaRAC K1 serial port and is used to configure the MegaRAC K1
in conjunction with the KSeek Utility.
This port is used to attach to an auxiliary optional device. This auxiliary port is
originally designed to allow connection to a device that can control the power on
the host system. It is also designed to supply power to the K1. This would eliminate
the need for the AC Adapter cable.
Note: As of the release of this document, no AUX devices have been designed.
The AUX Port is for future expandability and is an example of AMI's
forward thinking.
This port is used to supply the MegaRAC K1 with power.
Note: You must connect AC power before attaching the PS/2 mouse.
