Power Button Connector

[silasjdemone]

I am using a very old Dell motherboard, and the power button connector is a huge 13 pin connector. I have another case i want to use that only uses a tiny little 2 pin kind of thing. Is there some way i could make it work? Ill send a link to the motherboard manual to show you the layout.

The case i want to put it in has this kind of connector https://www.google.ca/search?q=power+button+connector&safe=strict&rlz=1C1CHBF_enCA778CA778&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj0p4zb8avbAhWPyIMKHagqADQQ_AUICigB&biw=1920&bih=974#imgrc=uQmesXXyMfVivM:

 

is there some kind of adapter or something?

I'm not sure if you'll be able to find an adapter as I'm pretty sure this is a proprietary connector. It might be possible to remove the power button from your original case and attatch it to the new one. Not sure exactly how you'd go about this as I don't have diagrams for the new case.

I think your best bet is to DIY the connection since I'm not aware of any off the shelf adapter.

What's the model number of the motherboard? We might be able to find a pinout for that connector.

Messure which two pins are the power button. It is a momentary switch.

Without guaranty it might be these two pins: 

 

that does work BUT the fans start spinning really fast, probably max speed

So, there isn't an option in the BIOS to change the case from open to closed, it gives me a beep code, and it's only the CPU fan spinning super fast
