Abstract

A first terminal of a first switch, a first idling pin, a third idling pin, and a power pin are connected together. A second terminal of the first switch, a first ground pin, a second ground pin, and a third ground pin are electrically connected together. A first terminal of the second switch, a second idling pin, a fourth idling pin, and a reset pin are electrically connected together. A second terminal of the second switch, a first ground pin, a second ground pin, and a third ground pin are electrically connected together. The first switch controls the motherboard to power on or power off, and the second switch controls the motherboard to reset.
