Utility 2 Interface
The Utility 2 (J13) interface consists of a 24-pin header used to route various signals to an external board
with external connections, or directly to the respective device such as the mouse and power button. Table 3-
9 lists the pin signals of the Utility 2 interface. The J13 header uses 24 pins, 2 rows, odd/even (1, 2) pin
sequence with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch.
• PS/2 Mouse signals
• SMBus signals
• Power button signal
System Management Bus (SMBus)
The I/O Hub, 82801GBM (Southbridge), contains both a host and slave SMBus port but the host cannot
access the slave internally. The slave port allows an external master access to the I/O Hub through the header
(J13). The master contained in the 82801GBM is used to communicate with the SDRAM DDR2 SODIMM,
82574IT Gigabit Ethernet controller, and the clock generator. Table 3-8 lists the corresponding binary
addresses of these devices on the SMBus.
