For an eMachines T5224 Desktop PC?

The eMachines T5224 Desktop PC uses an Intel 945GCL motherboard,

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-D945GCL-AA-D67193-203-Socket-775-MOTHERBOARD-/130713275248?pt=AU_Components&hash=item1e6f1e4b70

(Not advertising for the seller, or the website. Just posted for reference)

Motherboard Manual:

Intel Support > Intel D945GCL motherboard > Main Support page,

http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/highlights/dsktpboards/d945gcl

Go down to the subheading - Documents and Guides. (And -> is an Ampersand)
In the list under this subheading click on - Product guides

On this page click on the blue -
Intel Desktop Board D945GCL Product Guide - English (PDF)

This is a PDF file. The computer you are using now has Adobe Reader on it, which uses PDF files.
After you click on the above file name it may take up to 30 seconds, before the first page comes up.

[Took 10 seconds just now, using a medium speed DSL connection ]

The PDF file page number box is in the Top header, and is to the right of the Down Arrow.
The Zoom In icon ( + ) increases the view size, when you click on it.
The Zoom Out icon ( - ) decreases the view size.

IF you know the page number you want, you can use the Down Arrow to go page, by page to it, Or;

1) Put your mouse cursor in the page number box. Left-click once.
Anything in the page number box is now highlighted in blue.

2) Type the page number you want.
3) Press the Enter key.

Go to Page 11.
Shows an illustration of the motherboard. The view shown is actually 90 degrees to the right, in comparison to how it actually sits in the computer case.

[In the computer case; the Processor is to the Top, Ram memory slots to the Right, and long white PCI slots are to the Bottom ]

The front of your computer is the Front Panel.
The area of contact pins on the motherboard, that the main wires from the Front Panel go to, is the Front Panel header.
It may have F_PANEL, or FP1, or the equivalent, silkscreened on the motherboard next to it.

In the illustration on Page 11 the letter V, points to the Front Panel header.
Motherboard mounted in your computer case, the Front Panel header is at the Bottom/Right corner.

Two rows of pins, and the area around them is color coded, for where the wires are supposed to attach to, from the Front Panel.

Go to Page 43.

Looking at the Front Panel header, there are two rows of pins. (Already stated, I know)
The TOP row is numbered ODD.

Starting at the RIGHT side of the header, (Or motherboard), and going towards the LEFT side;
Pins 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9.

The BOTTOM row is numbered EVEN.

Starting at the RIGHT side of the header, going towards the LEFT side;
Pins 2, 4, 6, and 8. There is NO pin 10. Just a blank spot.

A) Pins 1 and 3 are for the HarDDrive activity LED (Light)
Pin 1 is for the Positive ( + ) wire.
IF the HDD activity LED light is dim when the Harddrive is active, switch the two wires around.

B) Pins 5 and 7 are for the Reset switch, IF a Reset switch is used.

C) Pin 9 is N/C. Not Connected. It is/was used for the factory.

D) Pins 2 and 4 are for the Power On LED (Light)

E) Pins 6 and 8 are for the Power On switch.

There is no Pin 10.

How do i wire-up the: ( eg. power l.e.d., HD led, reset led ect. to the board

The various wires from the case front panel should be labeled to indicate power LED, HD LED, etc.
The motherboard front panel jumper pins should be grouped together and the pins should be labeled to indicate PWR, HD. RST etc.
You can go to the motherboard manufacture's WEB site to download a diagram of your model motherboard and it will show all the locations of the connecting pins.

Pulled off front cover. three sets of wires came off. need to know where to reconnect. white/red wire HDD LED, white/green wire POWER LED, white/black wire POWER SW

Hi. You may want to check your motherboard for this wires to connect to, First, check your motherboards manual and look where the FRONT PANEL is located, then on the front panel or in the manual itself it will tell you where are those wires should be connected to. If you dont have the manual for your motherboard search it on google and do the same, and if still you coudnt find it over the internet then just look closely on your motherboard and look for the words HDD LED, POWER LED and POWER SW, usually those words or the FRONT PANEL is located on the left side bottom part of your motherboard. Hope This Helps

Most Mobo's have printing next to the places that are jumpered or pluged into. The ones you need sould be close to the edge of the mobo, that is close to the front {power button} side.
