2.0 Mode of operation

1) Ignition=OFF. Nothing happens. M1-ATX is waiting for ignition signals.
2) Ignition=ON. M1-ATX waits for few seconds then turns on the 5VSB rail. After another second M1-ATX sends
an "ON" signal to the motherboard via the 2 wires connected to the motherboard's ON/OFF pins. The
motherboard will turn ON and your system should start booting. The Ignition state will be latched for 60 more
seconds so that the motherboard will have a change to come up in a clean manner.
3) Ignition=ON. Your computer will remain ON.
4) Ignition=OFF. M1-ATX waits for "OFFDELAY" in seconds (see jumper chart) and then it turns the motherboard
OFF by sending a signal to the motherboard's ON/OFF switch. Your computer should turn off gracefully
(shutdown procedure). After shutdown, 5VSB will still be provided for another "HARDOFF" seconds. In the
event where the shutdown process is longer than "HARDOFF" (Operating System gets frozen, etc), power will
be shut down hard, turning off all power rails. During the HARDOFF procedure, the battery levels will be
constantly monitored to prevent deep discharge situations.
M1-ATX will go to step 1, if ignition is tuned ON again.
