Advanced I/O Controller with Motherboard GLUE Logic
Datasheet
The nHD_LED pin is used at the system’s front panel header to drive the hard drive activity LED. Note that
external LEDs should be driven such that the voltage at the nHD_LED pin does not exceed 5V. The output
is open-drain and should be externally pulled to VCC through a resistor.

Note:
The LEDs require external pull-up to VTR.
The green and yellow LED outputs are controlled by the LED register accessible via the LPC bus. The
GRN_YLW bit controls which output is asserted. In addition, the SDY_BLK bit indicates whether the
selected LED is steady or blinking. The LED register is located at offset 10h in the Power Control Logical
Device (LD_NUM=O) or the Runtime Register Block Logical Device (LD_NUM=1).
These LED outputs are also controlled by the nSLP_S5 sleep input pin. The functionality is shown in the
table below.
The green and yellow LED outputs are powered by VTR.
