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).
• 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.
• 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.
• CI (ChassisIntrusionHeader):
Connects to the chassis intrusion switch/sensor on the chassis that can detect if the chassis cover has been
