HI all,

 

So recently received a Lian Li A3-mATX and found that the front panel connectors were all on one connector and not separate ones, which is a new thing to me. What is confusing though is that there appears to be 2 things connected to the header from the case, but there is only a power button and thats it on the case no HDD LED,No Reset Button no nothing.

 

Anyone know what that second pair of connections is doing ?

Are you referring to the audio and power button cables?

the case doesnt have... a reset button, or hdd led, or power led.
why would it have wires for those? it only has the power switch one

There are 4 pins connected on the Front Panel connector, not just 2, wondering what the 2 others are for.
