How does it trigger the shutdown? Does it have a power switch connection to the motherboard?

shutdowns can be done in software like 'sudo systemctl halt', so it doesn't need a line straight to the motherboard. That's the desired path because it lets running applications gracefully close and finish writing to disk.
