14. System panel connector (20-pin PANEL1)
This connector accommodates several system front panel functions.
• System Power LED Lead (3-1 pin PLED)
This 3-1 pin connector connects to the system power LED. The LED lights up
when you turn on the system power.

the keyboard lock feature.
• System Warning Speaker Lead (4-pin SPEAKER)
This 4-pin connector connects to the case-mounted speaker and allows you to
hear system beeps and warnings.
• System Management Interrupt Lead (2-pin SMI)
This 2-pin connector permits switching to suspend mode, or “Green” mode, in
which system activity is instantly decreased to save power and to expand the
life of certain system components.
• Reset Switch (2-pin RESET)
This 2-pin connector connects to the case-mounted reset switch for rebooting
the system without turning off the power switch.
• ATX Power Switch / Soft-Off Switch Lead (2-pin PWR)
This connector connects a switch that controls the system power. Pressing the

OFF, depending on the BIOS or OS settings. Pressing the power switch while
in the ON mode for more than 4 seconds turns the system OFF.

activities of any device connected to the primary or secondary IDE connector
cause this LED to light up.
