View Ref-File1.9  ATX Tower                                                    CT60

The CT60 is featured with a HE13 connector for the features found on
the front of a modern tower : POWER Led, IDE Led, RESET push button,
POWER push button. Plus (no more present on the ATX tower) a
NORMAL/TURBO switch you will have to fix somewhere.

With the POWER switch, you can power on your falcon. You have to
understand that the ATX power supplies (in the major cases) have no
more 120/240V ON/OFF switch because they are drived by the ACPI
modern OS functions allowing to set the computer in a 'standby' or
'suspend' mode instead of turning OFF the power supply. This low
power setting is done by the power push button of the tower, and the
CT60 is managing this feature !

A SLEEP function (SLP) was even added in the hardware and manageable
by a software (an ACC or a CPX) to 'sleep" the machine (like the
windows menu).

The Power Led has a double utility managed by the CT60 : When the
power supply is ON, the led lighting normally, and when the power
supply is suspended (off in fact), the led is lighting weakly
indicating that your machine is OFF but stills connected to AC power.
