Chapter 2. System board features 13
The NetVista computer has a 3-pin connector on the system board that provides the
auxiliary 5 volts (AUX5) and wake-up signal connections. Some Wake on LAN
adapters have two connectors: a 3-pin, right-angle header for AUX5, and a 2-pin
straight connector for the wake-up signal. These Wake on LAN connector options
include a Y-cable that has a 3-pin system-board connector on one end and splits into
the 3-pin and 2-pin connectors that connect to the adapter.
For information on installing adapters, see the
NetVista User Guide
.
For information on the connector pin assignments, see “32-bit PCI connectors” on
page 37.
