Notes on J3 Signals 
 
COM1 – COM4 
The signals on these pins are RS-232 level signals and may be 
connected directly to RS-232 devices. The pinout of these signals is 
designed to allow a 9-pin male IDC connector to be crimped onto the 
corresponding ribbon cable wires to provide the correct pinout for a PC 
serial port connector (DTE). 
 
LPT1 
The signals on these pins comprise a standard PC parallel port. The 
pinout of these signals is designed to allow a 25-pin female IDC 
connector to be crimped onto the corresponding ribbon cable wires to 
provide the correct pinout for a PC parallel port connector. 
Keyboard, Mouse 
These are PS/2 signals for keyboard and mouse. 
Clk 
Clock pin; connects to pin 5 of the PS/2 connector. 
V- 
Power pin; connects to pin 3 of the PS/2 connector. 
Data 
Data pin; connects to pin 1 of the PS/2 connector. 
V+ 
Power pin; connects to pin 4 of the PS/2 connector. 
 
Pins 2 and 6 on the Mini-Din-6 PS/2 connectors are unused. 
Utilities A 
+5V Out 
This pin is a switched power pin that is turned on and off with the ATX 
power switch or with the +5V input. 
Speaker Out 
The signal on this pin is referenced to +5V Out. Connect a speaker 
between this pin and +5V Out. 
IDE Drive LED 
Referenced to +5V Out. Does not require a series resistor. Connect 
LED directly between this pin and +5V Out. 
Power LED 
Referenced to +5V Out. Does not require a series resistor. Connect 
LED directly between this pin and +5V Out. 
Utilities B 
Reset- 
Connection between this pin and Ground will generate a Reset 
condition. 
ATX Power 
When ATX is enabled, a momentary contact between this pin and 
Ground causes the CPU to turn on, and a contact of 4 seconds or 
longer will generate a power shutdown. ATX power control is enabled 
with a jumper on jumper block J10 (see page 14). 
KB Lock 
When this pin is connected to Ground, the keyboard and mouse inputs 
are ignored. 
IR RX, IR TX 
IrDA pins. Can be connected directly to an IrDA transceiver. 
+5V In 
Connected to +5V input power on J11 (see page 9). This pin is not 
switched by ATX control. This pin is provided for auxiliary use such as 
front panel lighting or other circuitry at the user’s discretion.
