Hi guys, we need some help. We have finished the build with my friend, but we don't know how to connect the front panel connectors, and as the manual doesn't tell me anything useful, I have turned to you guys. We need to connect HDD_LED, PLED, RESET and PWRSW. We would appreciate any help you can give us, and a colour coded drawing with which pin goes where would be especially helpful. If you need any extra information, ask me!

Thanks

Power switch goes to power switch connectors, reset switch is connected to reset switch pins, HDD LED + and - go to HDD_LED+ and HDD_LED- respectively, Power LED + and - go to PLED+ and PLED-.

 

Makes sense, doesn't it?

If your case doesn't have + and - on them cause some don't as I've found out, just use your best guess and see if it works. I've never damaged anything plugging a front panel lead in the wrong way.

I spend too much on my PC. Then I spend even more on my Sim Rig. Damn, this stuff's expensive.
