β’ PW (Power Switch):
Connects to the power switch on the chassis front panel. You may conξΏgure the way to turn off your
system using the power switch (please navigate to the "BIOS Setup" page of GIGABYTE's website and
search for "Soft-Off by PWR-BTTN" for more information).
β’ SPEAK (Speaker):
Connects to the speaker on the chassis front panel. The system reports system startup status by issuing
a beep code. One single short beep will be heard if no problem is detected at system startup.
β’ HD (Hard Drive Activity LED):
Connects to the hard drive activity LED on the chassis front panel. The LED is on when the hard drive
is reading or writing data.
β’ RES (Reset Switch):
Connects to the reset switch on the chassis front panel. Press the reset switch to restart the computer
if the computer freezes and fails to perform a normal restart.
β’ CI (Chassis Intrusion Header):
Connects to the chassis intrusion switch/sensor on the chassis that can detect if the chassis cover has
been removed. This function requires a chassis with a chassis intrusion switch/sensor.
β’ NC: No connection.
β’ PLED/PWR_LED (Power LED):
Connects to the power status indicator on the chassis front panel. The LED
is on when the system is operating. The LED is off when the system is in S3/
S4 sleep state or powered off (S5).
