SMI Suspend Switch Lead (EXTSMI) (Disabled)

This allows the user to manually place the system into a suspend

mode of Green mode. System activity will be instantly decreased

to save electricity and expand the life of certain components

when the system is not in use. This 2-pin connector (see the

figure) connects to the case-mounted suspend switch. If you do

not have a switch for the connector, you may use the "Turbo

Switch" instead since it does not have a function. SMI is

activated when it detects a short. It may require one or two

pushes depending on the position of the switch. Wake-up can be

controlled by settings in the BIOS but the keyboard will always

allow wake-up (the SMI Suspend Switch Lead cannot wake-up

the system). If you want to use this connector, the "Suspend

Switch" in the Power Management Setup of the BIOS SOFT-

WARE section should be on the default setting of Enable.

1.3.2 Floppy Disk Connector (FDC)

This connector supports the provided floppy drive ribbon

cable. After connecting the single end to the board, connect

the two plugs on the other end to the floppy drives.

1.3.3 Hard Disk Connectors (IDE1/IDE2)

These connectors support the provided IDE hard disk ribbon

cable. After connecting the single end to the board, connect

the two plugs at the other end to your hard disk.

If you install two hard disks, you must configure the second

drive to Slave mode by setting its jumper settings. BIOS now

supports SCSI device or IDE CD-ROM boot up (see "HDD

Sequence SCSI/IDE First" & "Boot Sequence" in the BIOS

Features Setup of the BIOS SOFTWARE) (Pin 20 is removed

to prevent inserting in the wrong orientation when using

ribbon cables with pin 20 plugged) .
