Chassis Intrusion Connector The chassis intrusion connector (JCI1) connects to the chassis intrusion switch cable.
Power Connectors The ATX 24-pin power connector (JPWR1) allows you to connect an ATX 24-pin or ATX 20-pin power supply. When using a 20-pin ATX power supply, plug the power supply along with pins 1 and 13. A foolproof design is on pins 11, 12, 23, and 24 to avoid wrong installation.
CMOS Reset Button The CMOS reset button located on the rear of the system, is powered by a battery on board to keep the system configuration data. The CMOS RAM records the correct time and setting of system hardware configuration. With the CMOS RAM, the system can automatically boot OS every time it is turned on. If you want to clear the system configuration, use the CMOS reset button to clear data.
