AASRock B550 Phantom Gaming 4 System Panel connect

   Guys,

I'm in the final stages of setting up an ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming 4 system. 

The case is a Fractal Design Focus G. The wires in the bundle include: Power switch (two wires), Reset switch (two wires), PLED +/- wires, HDD +/- wires. I've placed those wires on the B550 System Panel Header. Next to the System Panel Header is a Power LED & Speaker header (item #20 on p.1 of the manual. Why are there what appear to be redundant headers on the motherboard (PLED +/-)? Additionally, there appears to be an extra PLED+ header on item #20. And, no speaker wire in sight.

Am I missing something, or should all the wires from the case reside on the System Panel Header? Do case speakers still exist, or do they reside on the motherboard?

TIA,

Jeff

	Do case speakers still exist, or do they reside on the motherboard? Yes they exist, end user must add one.

	I have the same MB. It has no onboard speaker. You can add one but why.
