So, I don't know if I'm doing this right.

I'm building a PC for the brother (salvaged parts) and I'm confused on the front panel wiring. I want to make sure this is right. Here's some pics of what it says to wire and how it's setup right now. I understand they are big, but they needed to be high res.



There's no sleep and there's only a two pin connector for the LEDs, not a three-pin. I looked at the plug. One was positive and the other was ground, so that's what I thought would be suitable.

As for the On/Off, there's a one pin + plug in on and a one pin - plug in off.

If you need any more info, I'll post it. I tried booting this (there's no CPU or HD yet, so that may be part of it), but I expected the fans to spin at least. I don't get that either. I just get the power LED upfront.

Thanks.

Sooo... LED in the front lights up but nothing else spins? Power supply problem?

I wish I was there to help you. You might have to remove some pin pairings and replace them elsewhere on the lil black thing.

Both your mobo and case should have the stuff labeled in the instructions. Or you can just take it apart and write down the colors, match them to what they should be on the big plug, take them apart and replace them in the correct order

Yeah, I'm gonna go back right now and look at it.

So, you mean the black thing that's right above it? And I really hope this PSU isn't RMA. That'd be lame.

. I'm an idiot. I flipped power switch and the LEDs around. :). Works dandy now.

I'll post up once it's running with final pics. :)

EDIT: I am having another problem. I having major trouble getting my PCMCIA to PCI adapter getting into the damned PCI slot. It's not going in. I have no idea why. I have to exert way too much force and I don't want to. It just gets in halfway and then I have to use a LOT of force to take it out.

lol

by the black thing, I meant the plastic thing that holds all the wires together.

But, after reading ur last post

lol :)

if i were you i'd wait for the cpu. power led is working so you know that one is in good. you wont know hd led yet. best to wait until those parts are in.
