Front Panel Connector The front panel connection consists of a 2 × 8 header. Pin 1 is indicated by an arrowhead silk screened on the motherboard (the pin nearest the upper left corner of this graphic).

The front panel connector controls the following:

  • Power/Sleep LED
  • On/Off switch
  • Hard disk drive activity LED

Use cable 8001996 for connecting to the bezel.

Note: When reseating any components or working inside the case, unplug the power cord and wait for the green light to turn off (10 seconds maximum). There is more available current supplied to this motherboard than others. Failure to unplug the power cord may cause shorts and hot spots on the motherboard and the component you were working with.
