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 WKHV\VWHP·Vstatus. When the system is turn on status, the LED is on. When the system is turn off status, the LED is off. When the system is in S1, S1, S3, S4 status, the LED will blink.

Note: Some system cases 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 onboard 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 disks.

‰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.
