" rel="nofollow - I am hoping for some help on 2 questions about the System Panel Headers (Nos. 17 and 18) on the z370 Taichi. Question 1: there appears to be an extra "ground" pin right after the HDLED +/- pins on the System Panel Header (p.1, No. 17). The panel header No. 17 has (bottom row): HDLED+/HDLED-/GND/RESET#/GND The HDLED+/- from my case does not have a wire for the GND pin following the HDLED +/- pins. Can I just leave that GND open? Will it damage the board if I do? Question 2: The top row of the Panel Header calls for: PLED+/PLED-/PWRBTN#/GND. But the PLED wires from my case are in a plastic 3-pin connector, which has the +/- on the sides and a no contact slot (open or "dead" hole) in the middle. So it will not fit on the Panel Header No. 17. Can I put that PLED connection on Panel Header p.1, No. 18, which has 3 pins? (I have no problem with the reset pins and the PWRBTN pins, as they line up). Thanks for your help. |

The unused pin between the HDD LED and the Reset switch pins is normal, nothing to worry about. The power LED can be connected to either of the 2 labeled power LED headers depending on if it is the 3 pin or 2 pin variant. That is why there are 2  -------------
