Wiring Connections to the Motherboard:
A) Front Panel header: (Panel 1)
The
Front Panel, is the plastic front of your computer where the Power On
button, HarDDrive LED light, and Power On LED light is located.
The Front Panel header is the connections, or pins, on the motherboard, where the cables (Wires) go to from the Front Panel.
On the motherboard illustration it is marked as Panel 1.
(Down in the bottom right corner)
On your motherboard, Panel 1 (Front Panel header) is Black in color.
As you can see it is a rectangular block, and is placed vertically.
Has 2 columns of pins.
5 in the left column, 4 in the right column.
The Left column is numbered Odd.
Starting at the Top going down, Pins 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9
The Right column is numbered Evenly.
