This thread describes the issues with installing an Optiplex 7010/9010 motherboard into a 3rd party ATX case. There is another thread for the Optiplex 7010 power switch and power LED pinout. Optiplex 7010 power switch I have observed if the front I/O cable is detached from the motherboard, there is an 'Alert! Front I/O Cable failure.' error message when booting up the PC. The F1 key must be pressed to continue. I thought I would investigate what causes this and other 'Alert!' messages. The Optiplex 7010 and 9010 (I have both) appear to use virtually the same motherboard in the mini tower (MT) variant. The key difference is 9010 has BIOS support RAID. The Precision T1650 looks very similar and also supports ECC RAM - it is also offered with Xeon e3-1200v2 family of processors, the fastest being the i3-1290v2. The fastest Dell certified processor for the 7010/9010 is the i7-3770. However, the e3-1230 v2 Xeon processor is apparently known to work in the 7010 too according to one Youtube video posted back in 2015. The Front I/O socket on the motherboard is smaller than normal. It appears the pins have a 2mm pitch instead of the typical 0.1" (2.54mm) pitch too. Update (30 Oct 2018): I've since discovered a post on reddit created by 'BlastingKap' two months earlier, who had also examined the Front I/O pinout on an Optiplex 7010: https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/98y8x2/optiplex_7010_9010_motherboard_transplanting/ Update (28 Apr 2019): I also came across this youtube video https://youtu.be/Bz6s4wB-MDM Update (2 Jul 2021): Just a quick update. I'm still using 7010 and 9010 MT models. No changes to BIOS or Windows drivers since posting in this long thread more than 18 months ago. The 9010 runs macOS Mojave, I haven't upgraded to Catalina. Only issues I have encountered is the task bar in Windows 10 failing to respond every once in a while for past few years - restarting the Windows Explorer fixed the problem every time. I recently found instructions on how to reregister Start process - too early to say whether it will fix the problem once and for all. I fitted a cheap i5-3475s cpu into the 7010 in late 2020. In early 2021, the 7010 also started to freeze or crash after exactly 30 minutes of use - I traced the problem to possibly defective or poorly seated Samsung PC3-12800 DIMMs. I replaced the pair with Hynix PC3-12800 DIMMs. Note the presence of a 1k resistor to limit the current through the LED. The front USB3 sockets are served by a separate cable which plugs into blue coloured USB header socket on the motherboard. The pinout for the microphone and heaphone have a non-standard layout. The HDD LED requires an extra 1k resistor. The USB2 pinout seems to have a standard layout but a normal 0.1" pitch USB2 header plug won't fit onto the 2mm pitch pins. It wouldn't surprise me if the Optiplex 7020/9020 and Precision T1700 uses the same pinout for the Front I/O connector. The key features of the 7020/9020/T1700 are the use of Intel 4th gen Haswell processors. The MT/DT motherboards have an 8 pin power connector, and a 24 pin ATX to 8 pin adapter is required when planning to use a third party ATX PSU. The Optiplex 7010/9010 runs Windows 10 just fine. I have encountered some USB3 and HDMI issues. Fortunately, there are some fixes for them. The 7010/9010 can run macOS High Sierra or Mojave when using a processor with Intel HD4000 graphics, otherwise specific graphics card such as a low cost GT710 is required for any other processor. A mac/macbook is required to create the USB bootable installation media for macOS. https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-install-high-sierra-or-mojave-on-the-dell-optiplex-7010-9010-desktop-pc-revision-ii.251736/

Hi, is there any product ohter than the io of a pc case that gives me a headphonejack (in german it is called Klinke) output and connects to the hd audio header of my motherboard? it sounds so simple and i honestly feel bad for asking, but i searched and searched for such a product and didnt find anything besides Front IO panels... | | \ /

I have a prebuilt system that I have recently got a new case for to be able to get better cooling. The issue I have is that my USB 3.0 header does not work with my new case oddly. My old front IO still works if I hook it up to the motherboard but the new front IO will not work. I RMA'd the front IO ports since it is a new case. The replacement front IO came in and the same issue occurs. I was curious and took the replacement front IO to my brothers house and tried it on his PC. The replacement front IO works perfectly in his computer (also a prebuilt but slightly newer). Being that the replacement front IO that came in works perfectly in my brothers PC and the old front IO works from my old case. I have no idea why it the new front IO does not work. the old front IO is labeled as USB 3.0 on the cable itself. the only difference is my new connector is all black but my old connector has a blue end on it. everything else seems identical. the motherboard model is an HP 2b47

I have just built my pc in my DF600 FLUX case which has an LED button just above the power button. Im also using an ASUS ROG Strix B450-F Gaming Motherboard which doesnt have any argb headers. My issue is that because of the lack of argb headers my last resort until I find a solution is to use my LED button to change colours but I have no idea where to plug the 2 pin wire (looks like all the other io wires) labeled as RGB is meant to go. Also if possible pleasefind me a solution to the problem with mobo not having 3pin 5v argb headers. I have searched everywhere and couldnt find a solution so any help is appreciated. thanks in advance

Hi ladies and gents, I have recently purcahesed new mobo - Gigabyte b550 aorus pro ac, and was aware there is a usb 3.2 gen 1 header for front panel, but it is a 20 pin connection. On case - Lian Li o11 air mini, there is a usb c conector for front io. Any chance there is an adapter so I can get complete functionality on the front io? Thanks in advance!!

Hey guys, I am planning on overhauling my system to the new am5 socket when the 7800x3d comes out. I’ve been looking around for motherboards that can support it but the only problem is that I have an NZXT case so the front io connecter is fixed and unchangeable. I’ve looked around for maybe some charts or something with compatibility info but I haven’t found anything. Ive been looking at mid range boards like the Rog strix b650e-f gaming wifi and the Gigabyte b650 aorus elite ax. I’ve resorted to looking at each boards specific manual to see if they might be compatible but it doesn’t look like it. Or at least I don’t think so. I don’t know as much about motherboards so any solutions here would be welcomed. Should I be looking at different motherboards, is there some kind of adapter cable I can use (nzxt doesn’t seem to have one), or is there some other solution I don’t know about? Thanks guys.

Hi guys, so i'm actually wondering how i should plug the case's front io ports to. I know that it is like at the bottom right of the motherboard, but how do which connector is for which? I remember some people saying that where the words on the front io ports wires face also matters, can someone help and give me a very specific one, better a picture as my brain cannot process to much of words. Thank you!

Hey guys, Recently built a new Ryzen PC, but am having some audio issues with my front IO. Like what the title says, changing the windows master volume does not seem to change the headphone volume on my front headphone jack, which seems to be constantly pinned on 100%. This is even after Re-installing latest drivers from the manufacturers website. Volume on the back IO is fine. Below are some observations that I have made: 1. Realtek HD Audio manager (default settings) does not recognise it when my headphone or mic is plugged in at the front - the front panel ports remain greyed out when the plugs are in - headphone works, but is constantly blasting at full volume - Mic is not recognised in skype or audacity, so cannot be used or tested in this scenario 2. When I disable front audio jack detection in audio manager, both jacks are never greyed out and - headphone works, but is constantly blasting at full volume (no change) - Mic can now be detected in audacity I have tested this with a different front IO panel and the same symptom is found. Below are my specs: CPU: Ryzen 5 1500x Mobo: ASRock AB350 Pro4 AM4 ATX Motherboard RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 8GB (2x 4GB) DDR4 2400MHz GPU: Gigabyte GTX1060 HDD: Seagate ST1000DM010 1TB BarraCuda 3.5" SSD: Kingston SSDNow UV400 120GB PSU: Antec VP-600P Case: Gigabyte 3d Aurora (yes, old case - also tested front (Top) IO from ft03 mini) OS: Win 10 Pro x64 I think I've ruled out an issue with the case, could this be an early driver issue, or could it possibly be a mobo hardware defect? What do you guys think? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello all, I am wondering if anyone knows if there is any way to get an extensions for front i/o panel of my case. The case that I have is the CaseLabs Mercury S8. It has two USB 3.0 cables and the normal power/led and audio cables. I am looking for extensions for these cables because the ones that are supplied with the case are bulky and just barely long enough to reach my motherboard, so they're stretched across open space instead of tucked away in the corners or against the walls of the case. So I am trying to get extensions that way I can sort of coil the original cables up in the basement and route the extensions to my motherboard to make everything look cleaner. Or if there is something else that would help me solve this issue. I've looked for some by searching with Google, however I haven't really found anything useful that looks nice as well. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I am working on my first build into a DIYPC Gamemax-W-RGB Full Tower Case. This case has front (or more specifically “top”) IO of 2 USB 3.0, 2 USB 2.0 and and an SD/miniSD card reader. I have also installed a Gigabyte - GC-WB867D-I PCIe x1 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Adapter. I have a Gigabyte - Z390 UD motherboard. My mobo has 1 USB 3.0 header and 1 USB 2.0 header. My problem is that card reader, the wifi/bluetooth adapter, and (obviously) the USB 2.0 all need to be plugged into a USB header. As I understand it, the wifi card will work without the USB, the bluetooth will simply be disabled. I think. Then again, I hardly ever use a card reader anymore and 2 USB 3.0 ports should be plenty front IO in the short term. But assuming I want to get all 3 functioning in the long term, what are my options? Is there some kind of 3-way USB splitter I could install? Is there a PCIE card with additional USB headers I could install? Thanks so much guys. I am getting closer and closer to being able to try and turn this thing on for the first time. I feel like it will be a miracle if everything is installed correctly. I am sure once its up and running correctly I will be happy I built it. But right now... It's funny, I bought a full tower case because I wanted to have plenty of room to make it easier but it's still a struggle to plug things in in places. I just realized my knuckles are bleeding.

Hey everyone! I can provide pictures if needed, but I'm currently planning to mod a Dell XPS 200 case. It's badass, and I've got some cool plans for water cooling and the such, but I'm running into some issues. (A side issue, does anyone know a different PSU that'd fit in the case? If so that'd be awesome) but anyway- the front io has a board with a cable that connected to the Dell motherboard that came with it- it has 39 pins and is made by foxconn (look up 39 pin Dell io on eBay and you'll probably see it) does anyone know how I could modify this to be able to use a normal boards io?

So I just putting toghter my new PC, AMD Ryzen 2600 with a B450 Prime Plus Motherboard. But there is a slight problem, the motherboard has only one Front USB header (unlike the Gigabyte motherboard I used in my old PC) and I kinda need to 2 because I'm using an SD card reader. Is there any way to connect it to another header/PCI express slot or even use some sort of splitter on the USB header?

I'm wrapping up a case mod and PC build. I got a custom part that has, among other things, a USB-C Gen2 port and HDMI port. It's all plugged in and ready to go except the HDMI. I did some googling and found out that unfortunately, the HDMI port is useless until I can plug it in somewhere. Since I'm a build newb it didn't occur to me that there isn't such thing as HDMI headers on a motherboard until I thought about it for a second. So, what's a guy to do? I refuse to just have a dead port, it bothers me. Are there any current RTX 2070/80 Super cards out there with an internal HDMI port? If not, are there any graceful solutions to routing the front HDMI to the card on the back? Thank you!

Hello :) I have plugged in the "f_panel" Connector like this: I thought that was it, but then I found these in the accessory box in my NZXT H500 case: I'm not sure if I'm supposed to plug in both the f_panel Connector and these ones as well. As you can see they are really short, so there is no way It's gonna stretch from the front IO to the header on the mobo alone. I Guess you are supposed to plug it in to a different, longer cable. Am I supposed to use some kind of "adapter" for the f_panel to attach these cables as well, or am I doing it right?

Hi, I’m doing a sleeper build in an old Sun Ultra 45 case. Pretty much everything about this case is proprietary; I’ve drilled new standoffs, made new HDD mounts, air flow, the lot. For the most part this build has been down to problem solving and following basic sleeper procedure, but when it comes to connecting the strange front panel IO the project has hit a standstill. Here’s pictures of the IO unit. It’s fairly standard in terms of its actual interface content – a momentary power button, an LED, USB 2.0 (a little old but still), Firewire, and audio in/out. The place where I’m really having the trouble is the non-standard connectors on the back of the PCB that would have gone to the Sun motherboard. I’ve deduced they’re actually just IDC connectors. The pin counts from left to right are as follows: 26, 6, 14. Now I’ve dug around for pinouts for them, but I honestly can’t find a thing. Sun service manuals are made for the average office worker to be able to understand with instructions like PART A CONNECTS TO PART B, etc. Do you think there’s a possibility that I could connect these IDC connectors to the motherboard somehow? The last thing I really wanna do is cannibalize this piece of hardware cos this builds tryna preserve as much as I can of the original case. Thanks guys.
