Connecting with Front Panel Connector
There are motherboards which do not have separated pins for power on/off and
reset. Both the reset and the power buttons are placed on the system's front panel
and connected to the motherboard via a common front panel connector. To allow
the connection of the ARMC/3P's remote reset and power on/off signals to those
motherboards a special front panel adapter has to be placed between the front
panel connector on the motherboard and the cable connector to the front panel.
Please ask your local service center for assistance.
Connecting Power Supply
The ARMC/3P offers the possibility to be powered internally by the host system
using the ATX Power Adaptor cable or powered externally using the external
Power adaptor. (see Package Contents).
Connecting Power using ATX Power Cable Adaptor
If the host system provides an ATX 20 or ATX 24 (EPS) connection from the power
supply to the motherboard, this cable can be extended with the delivered ATX
Power Cable Adaptor. In that case the ARMC/3P is powered internally using the
5V Standby Power of the host power supply. There is no other external power
supply necessary.
For connecting the ATX Power Cable Adaptor obey the following steps while
referring to Figure 7.
1. Power off the host and disconnect it from the power line.
2. Find the ATX cable connecting the host system power supply and the
motherboard and remove the cable.
3. Exchange the disconnected cable with the delivered 20-pole ATX Power Cable
Adaptor or the 24-pole ATX Power Cable Adaptor (EPS) cable. Then, connect
the male connector of the enclosed ATX Power Cable Adaptor to the power
supply of the host system and connect the female connector of the enclosed
ATX Power Cable Adaptor to the power connector of the motherboard.
4. Connect the ATX Power Cable Adaptor male connector on the ARMC/3P with
the 5 pin female connector of the ATX Power Cable Adaptor. Refer to Figure 16
ARMC/3P Host Power pins
5. Check the cabling, finally.
Note: Powering the ARMC/3P using ATX Power Cable Adaptor solution
requires Standard ATX Power Supply with 5V/2A Standby Power. Refer to
the host system and/or power supply manual if the host system and the host
power supply fully support the ATX standard.
