Connecting Internal Headers
Front Panel Header
The front panel header on this motherboard is one connector used to connect the following four cables:
(see Table 2 for pin definitions)
PWRLED
Attach the front panel power LED cable to these two pins of the connector.
The Power LED indicates the system’s status. When the system is in S0 status, the LED is on. When the system is in S1, S3, S4, S5 status, the LED is off.
Some chassis do not have all four cables. Be sure to match the name on the connectors to the corresponding pins.
PWRSW
Attach the power button cable from the case to these two pins. Pressing the power button on the front panel turns the system on and off rather than using the power supply button.
HD_LED
Attach the hard disk drive indicator LED cable to these two pins. The HDD indicator LED indicates the activity status of the hard disk drives.
RESET
Attach the Reset switch cable from the front panel of the case to these two pins. The system restarts when the RESET switch is pressed.
