Connectors

CAUTION
Only the following connectors have overcurrent protection: back panel USB, front panel USB, and PS/2.

The other internal connectors are not overcurrent protected and should connect only to devices inside the computer's chassis, such as fans and internal peripherals. Do not use these connectors to power devices external to the computer's chassis. A fault in the load presented by the external devices could cause damage to the computer, the power cable, and the external devices themselves.

This section describes the connectors and are divided into these groups:

  • Back Panel I/O Connectors
  • Internal I/O Connectors
  • External I/O Connectors

Back Panel Connectors

The figure below shows the location of the back panel connectors. The back panel connectors are color-coded in compliance with PC 99 recommendations. The figure legend below lists the colors used.

KAudio front left and right outLime green

Note: The back panel audio line out connector is designed to power headphones or amplified speakers only. Poor audio quality occurs if passive (non-amplified) speakers are connected to this output.

Internal I/O Connectors

The internal I/O connectors are divided into the following functional groups:

  • Audio
  • Power and hardware control
  • Add-in boards and peripheral interfaces

Add-in Board and Peripheral Interface Connectors

The figure below shows the location of the add-in board connector and peripheral connectors for the Intel® Desktop Board D865PERC. Note the following considerations for the PCI bus connectors:

  • All of the PCI bus connectors are bus master capable.
  • SMBus signals are routed to PCI bus connector 2. This enables PCI bus add-in boards with SMBus support to access sensor data on the Desktop Board. The specific SMBus signals are as follows:
  • The SMBus clock line is connected to pin A40
  • The SMBus data line is connected to pin A41

INTEGRATOR'S NOTES

  • The +5 V DC power on the USB connector is fused.
  • Pins 1, 3, 5, and 7 comprise one USB port.
  • Pins 2, 4, 6, and 8 comprise one USB port.
  • Use only a front panel USB connector that conforms to the USB 2.0 specification for high-speed USB devices.

This applies to:
