x470 Master Connections from front of Case

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   The X470 Master SLI/ac motherboard manual lists its connectors on pages 1 and 2.

However, my Fractal case has double wires labeled 'HDD LED', 'Power SW', and 'Rest SW', as well as single wires labeled 'Power LED-', and 'Power LED+'.  

There are no corresponding pin connectors listed on page 4 of the manual.  

How can I connect the right wires to the correct pins?

Cheers,
Hugh

	Those are the front panel connectors. It's item 16 on page 7 of the manual. The specific pins are labeled there. They are the bottom-right set of pins on the board, right below the M2_2 connector. They should be labeled on the board as well.

	the led connectors are position critical eg find the + and make sure it goes the the board + the pwr sw and reset sw can be either way

	MNMadamn; Thanks much for taking the trouble to reply. Page 16 of the manual merely contains a picture of a CPU and page 7 contains information about a WiFi antenna. You must be referring to some other manual. I worked out that the connections are supposed to be made to the 'System Panel Header', as you say. However, I can't find any instructions about which pins, in what configurations, must be connected to the pins on that header. That was why I originally posted my question. I still haven't found the answer. Cheers, Hugh

	datonyb; Thanks for your suggestion. I take it that you mean that the 'Power SW' and 'Reset SW' can be connected either way -- either upside down or vice versa. But do they have to connected to particular pins on the System Panel Header. That is not mentioned in the manual, and I am still trying to find out the answer. Cheers, Hugh
