Front I/O connection help

[Cringepai]

I just built a pc for the first time, I'm having trouble connecting my front I/O pins correctly since I'm using an old unpopular board "Fujitsu D3221-b1".

 

Could I get someone to show me where which pin goes?

Might need to flip it but should be it below:

When everything is hooked up, tap the Power On jumpers with a screw driver to short them, does it switch on ?

Even if you don't know ... you can figure it out easily  ... the header has different colors

Each color is a different thing ...

Power switch and reset switch don't have polarity, so it doesn't matter if you insert them the wrong way.. so start with those

LEDs just won't light up if you insert them the wrong way, they won't get damaged).. you can figure those out once you rule out power on and reset switch pins.

 

When you start the PC you just temporarily short the two pins in header, so you can just get a flat screwdriver and touch two pins with same color at a time, until you get the ones that cause the motherboard to start (you'll see the fan spinning on cpu). You can turn off the motherboard then by holding the button or shorting the pins for at least 4 seconds. It may shut down instantly before Windows, after you're in OS less than 4 seconds may put the system to sleep instead of shutting it down.

 

Once you get that sorted, connect the front panel connector there ... start the pc and touch the other pins of same color ... if you hit the reset the pc will naturally reset.

 

Then just get the power on led and plug it while computer runs  in the other pairs of pins and see if the led turns on. .. if it doesn't flip it around just to make sure you didn't get the polarity wrong... again, led won't burn up, won't be damaged, motherboard won't care, you just won't get the led lightning up.

The system was not posting so i thought maybe this is still the problem but, turns out one of the old ram sticks I took out from an old system was the issue. Thank you for your help, the system did post and I am now installing windows.

Thank you for all of your help aswell, in the end it was one RAM stick which was basically dead, but this will definitely help me for anything I build in the future.
