To power on the system, please refer to chapter 2.13 to short the power button pin
on JFRNT.
2.4.4 <Complete the system installation>
After CPU, CPU cooler and the memory module(s) are installed, carefully slide the main
board into PICMG slot of the backplane. If an ATX power supply is to be connected to the
backplane, an ATX function cable is needed to connect the main board and the backplane.
