Hi... I am having a hard time hooking up my power from the case to the motherboard. The wires from my case are as follows Power LED + , Power LED - , Reset SW (2 holes or pins) , HDD LED (2 holes or pins) , and then there is a seperate wire listed as Power SW, and it has 2 holes. The motherboard pins are as follows: HDLED+ , HDLED - , GND , RESET # , Dummy , PLED + , PLEED - , PWRBTN# , GRND Please help me match these up. Also how do I know where to put the HDD LED since the wire is not specified which hole is + and -. And does dummy mean that I do not put anything there. (and don't call me a dummy) Thank you very much
This thread should help a little hopefully (post 5 mainly) It's just a basic idea on where they go, if you plug in the HDD LED the wrong way, the LED will stay on, so then you just switch it around! It doesn't matter which way the power button or reset switch is plugged in!
Tried connecting the wires to the pins, and when I had everything hooked up, I pressed the power button. A light came on on thefront of the case and then nothing. Any ideas, Please.
You didn't follow my picture exactly did you? Because that was just an example! Generally speaking, the positive pin is closest to the PCI slots. Configure as follows: Power LED + , Power LED - goes onto PLED + , PLEED - respectively HDLED+ , HDLED - goes onto HDD LED+, HDD LED - respectively Reset SW - the darker wire will hook onto RESET # and the lighter wire will hook onto GND. Power SW - the darker wire will hook onto PWRBTN# and the lighter wire will hook onto GRND. Hope this is easy to follow
Thanks Pelvis, followed your directions, hit the power button and wallah everything was working great. Once again thanks for your help.
