Dell Optiplex 3020 Mid Tower Case Front Panel Connector Case Issue

[CamCircleClicker]

This is my first post so pardon me if this is under the wrong topic. I recently bought a NZXT h510 elite case to upgrade my Dell optiplex 3020 with new power supply and gpu. I knew that most of the pins on the motherboard were proprietary but I thought with the proper pinout I would be able to reallocate things like the HDD light and power switch. Problem is that there isn't proper documentation anywhere that I can find online. The h510 Elite comes with a front panel splitter so I would rather use that than splicing plugs together. If anyone has previous experience with this or could help me find a diagram, it would be amazing. I can provide pictures if needed. Thanks!

We recently designed some adapters that allow you to connect the standard front panel I/O to the proprietary headers on some Dell Optiplex boards. Check it out here: https://github.com/HarbinRepairs/Dell-Optiplex-MB-Header-Adapters
