ESD Precautions
Computer boards have integrated circuits sensitive to static electricity.
To prevent chipsets from electrostatic discharge damage, please take
care of the following jobs with precautions:
Do not remove boards or integrated circuits from their anti-static
Packaging until you are ready to install them.
Before holding the board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted
portion of the system unit chassis for a few seconds. It discharges
static electricity from your body.
Wear a wrist-grounding strap, available from most electronic
Component stores, when handling boards and components.

2.4.8 Front Panel Connector (CN14)
 Power LED
This 3-pin connector denoted as Pin 1,3 and 5 connects the
system power LED indicator to such a switch on the case. Pin 1 is
assigned as +, and Pin 5 as -. The Power LED lights up when the
system is powered ON. Pin 3 is defined as GND.
 External Speaker and Internal Buzzer Connector
Pin 2, 4, 6 and 8 can be connected to the case-mounted speaker
unit or internal buzzer. While connecting the CPU card to an
internal buzzer, please short pins 2-4; while connecting to an
external speaker, you need to set pins 2-4 to Open and connect
the speaker cable to pin 8 (+) and pin 2 (-).
 ATX Power On/Off Button
This 2-pin connector denoted as Pin 9 and 10 connects the front
panel’s ATX power button to the CPU card, which allows users to
control ATX power supply to be power on/off.
 System Reset Switch
Pin 11 and 12 can be connected to the case-mounted reset
switch that reboots your computer instead of turning OFF the
power switch. It is a better way to reboot your system for a longer
life of the system’s power supply.
 HDD Activity LED
This connection is linked to hard drive activity LED on the control
panel. LED flashes when HDD is being accessed. Pin 13 and 14
connect the hard disk drive to the front panel HDD LED, Pin 13
assigned as -, and Pin 14 as +.
