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
turn on status, the LED is on. When
the system is turned off, 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.

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
