WAFER-LX on-board connector p inouts

The following chapter describe the motherboard pi-nouts and the controller components to which theyhave been connected.

AT power input connector

The AT power connector (CN1) on the WAFER-LXis connected to the power out connector (CN6) onthe power module. The power source is connectedto either the 4-pin power block or the power linejack; power is then fed into the power input connec-tor (CN3) on the power module. The power is thentransferred through the power module circuitry tothe power output connector (CN6) on the power mo-dule and fed through the power cable to the powerinput connector (CN1) on the WAFER-LX mother-

board.

Audio connec tor

A RealTek ALC203 codec on the WAFER-LX mo-therboard is interfaced to the 10-pin audio connec-tor.

Two LINE_OUT Pins (Pin 1 and Pin 5) are the inter-face to the audio socket by means of a pre-installedcable.

Audio signals are transmitted from the RealTekALC203 codec to the audio connector, through acable into the audio jack and finally to the speakers.

1.1.4.4 WAFER-LX jumper settings

Before the WAFER-LX is installed in the controller,the jumpers must be set in accordance with thedesired configuration. The WAFER-LX motherboardhas three onboard jumpers.

A jumper is a metal bridge that is usedto close an electrical circuit. It consistsof two metal pins and a small metalclip (often protected by a plastic co-ver) that slides over the pins to con-nect them. To SET a jumper meansconnecting the pins of the jumper withthe plastic clip. To OPEN a jumpermeans removing the plastic clip froma jumper.

Clear CMOS jumper

If the WAFER-LX fails to boot due to improper BIOSsettings, use this connector to clear the CMOS dataand reset the controller BIOS information. Reset thecontroller BIOS settings. To do this, disconnect CN7and keep it disconnected for at least five seconds.

The battery connector (CN7) is usedas the clear CMOS jumper on the WA-FER-LX.
