Abstract
A connector is made connectable with a DC power source by using a transmission line. The transmission line has a power source line and a signal line. A switch disconnects a signal line or makes the signal line connectable to a reference potential line. A controller monitors the potential of the signal line, detects reconnection of the signal line on the basis of the potential and then boots a host system.
