1.5.2 Front Panel Switches and Indicators Headers

This header is used for connecting switches and LED indicators on the chassis front panel.

Watch the power LED pin position and orientation. The mark “+” align to the pin in the figure below stands for positive polarity for the LED connection. Please pay attention when connecting these headers. A wrong orientation will only result in the LED not lighting, but a wrong connection of the switches could cause system malfunction.

HLED (Pin 1, 3):

Connects to the HDD LED cable of chassis front panel.

RST (Pin 5, 7):

Connects to the Reset Switch cable of chassis front panel.

SPKR (Pin 13, 15, 17, 19):

Connects to the System Speaker cable of chassis.

SLED (Pin 2, 4):

Connects to the Suspend LED cable (if there is one) of chassis front panel.

PWR (Pin 6, 8):

Connects to the Power Switch cable of chassis front panel.

PLED (Pin 16, 18, 20):

Connects to the Power LED cable of chassis front panel.
