Caution

If you enable a PFI line for output, do not connect any external signal source to it;

if you do, you can damage the device, the computer, and the connected equipment.

What are the power-on states of the PFI and DIO lines on the
I/O connector?

At system power-on and reset, both the PFI and DIO lines are set to
high-impedance by the hardware. Hence, the device circuitry is not actively
driving the output either high or low. However, these lines may have pull-up
or pull-down resistors connected to them as shown in Table 4-5,

Digital I/O

Signal Summary

. These resistors weakly pull the output to either a

logic-high or logic-low state. For example, DIO(0) is in the
high-impedance state after power on, and Table 4-5 shows that there is a
50 k

Ω pull-up resistor. This pull-up resistor sets the DIO(0) pin to a logic

high when the output is in a high-impedance state.
