14. RGB LED Controller Header
The RBG header is a 4 pin header that allows a software based control within
windows for RGB devices via ELEET-X. Please see Page 38 for control
specifics.
15. Power Button
This is an onboard power button, and may be used in place of, or in
conjunction with, a front panel power button wired to the board.
Benching systems, or test benches before final assembly, are best served by
using the onboard power because it removes the need to wire a Power/Reset
button or cross posts with a screwdriver, which is a semi-common practice.
This button provides a safer and easier option than jumpering the Power posts.
16. Reset Button
This is an onboard system reset button, and may be used in place of, or in
conjunction with, a front panel system reset button wired to the board.
Benching systems, or test benches before final assembly, are best served by
using the onboard power because it removes the need to wire a Power/Reset
button or cross posts with a screwdriver, which is a semi-common practice.
This button provides a safer and easier option than jumpering the Power posts.
17. Debug LED / CPU Temp
This is a two-digit POST code reader, displaying in hexadecimal, which means
the characters available (when working as intended) are 0-9, A-F and has a cap
of 255 characters. The POST codes are listed in the troubleshooting section on
Page 125. After the system boots, it will display the temperature in Celsius.
This temperature is specifically for the CPU socket, which usually reads slightly
higher than a given CPU core. To read this temperature in Fahrenheit, take the
value in Celsius, multiply by 9/5 (or 1.8) and add 32.
18. USB 3.0 Headers
The USB3.0 header is used to connect additional USB interface plugs to the
motherboard; these headers are most often used to connect the motherboard to
the chassis to enable the USB3.0 ports on the chassis. These will function
similarly to the USB3.0 ports found on the motherboard’s rear I/O hub, but
can also be used for the chassis’ front panel USB, auxiliary ports that mount in
the card slots, and certain devices that directly connect to the header.
USB 3.0 standard is 900mA @ 5V for unpowered devices. If your USB device
requires more power, it is recommended to attach a powered USB Hub.
