So I have this Compaq ap550 workstation I picked up for 20$ a few months ago. Haven't really used it much because the 10k rpm harddrives give me a headache.. :-p

I was investigating the board and I found a connector that is not explained in the manual. It sits right next to what I guess is the wake up on LAN port connected to the network card.

Does anyone recognise this port?

Might be extra blinkenlights for the front panel, 10/100 connected/active etc.

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

It's the Alert on LAN NIC connector (P12)
