Wiring diagram i need to know the wiring for a n232 intel motherboard i need to know where to plug in the switches and led wires (front panel) to the board trying to recycle to make my kids a computer

You maybe able to download a motherboard manual from this WEB site and identify the connectors for the front panel.
http://devxstudis.org/int/intel+d865gkd+motherboard+manual.html

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.

Motherboard installed in computer case; Processor to the TOP,
Ram Memory slots to the RIGHT, long PCI slots to the BOTTOM, the Front Panel header is at the Bottom/Right corner.

Two rows of pins, may have F_PANEL silkscreened next to it on the motherboard.

The TOP row of pins is numbered EVEN.

From the LEFT side of the motherboard, going towards the RIGHT side, across the top row of pins;

Pins 2, 4, 6, 8, (NO pin 10, NO pin 12), 14, 16, 18, and 20

The BOTTOM row is numbered ODD.

From the LEFT side of the motherboard, going towards the RIGHT side, across the Bottom row of pins;

1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, (NO pin 13), 15, 17, and 19.

A) Pins 2 and 4 are for the Power On LED.
IF, the LED is dim when the computer is on, switch the wires around.

These pins are used for a Power On LED, that has TWO wires.
It is a single color LED.

B) Pins 6 and 8 are for the Power On Switch.

C) Pins 14, 16, 18, and 20, are for the internal speaker. The speaker used for BIOS Beep Codes.
Pin 14 is for the Positive ( + ) wire. Pin 20 is for the Negative ( - ) wire.

D) Pins 1 and 3 are for the HarDDrive activity LED.
Pin 1 is for the Positive ( + ) wire.
If the HDD LED is dim when the harddrive is operating, (Active), switch the wires around.

E) Pins 5 and 7 are for a Reset Switch, IF a Reset switch is used.

F) Pins 9 and 11 are used for a Chassis Intrusion Switch.

G) Pins 15, 17, and 19 are used for a Power On LED.
These pins are used for a Power On LED that has THREE wires.
For a Power On LED that is dual color.

1.1.3 Board Layout

The plastic front of your computer tower is the Front Panel.
The area of pins (Contact pins) on the motherboard, that the wires (Cables) go to, is the Front Panel header.

P on the Board Layout points to the Front Panel header.
(Front Panel connector)

Note that the illustration of the motherboard layout, is turned 90 degrees to the Right, in relation to how it actually sits in your computer case.

If you turn the motherboard layout illustration 90 degrees to the left, as it should be, the Front Panel header has two rows of pins.

The eMachines T3058 Desktop PC uses an Intel D101GGC motherboard.

The plastic front of your computer is the Front Panel.
The rectangular area of contact pins on the motherboard, that the wires from the Front Panel go to, is the Front Panel header.

Front Panel header:

This link takes you to Intel Support, and the download page for the motherboard manual, for the Intel D101GGC motherboard,

http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/d101ggc/sb/CS-021718.htm

On this page click on the blue -
Intel Desktop Board D101GGC Product Guide - English (PDF)

The computer you are using now has Adobe Reader on it, which uses PDF files.
After you click on the file name it may take up to 30 seconds before the first page comes up.
It may also take additional time for the file to fully download.

{ Took 7 seconds to download just now, with no additional download time needed.
Using medium speed DSL connection }

Ignore the following if you are aware;
At the top of the PDF file is the PDF file page number box, and the Zoom Out/Zoom In icons.

Zoom Out ( + ) enlarges the page view, Zoom In ( - ) reduces the page view.
For myself I reduce the view size to 100 or 75 percent.

The page number box is to the right of the Down Arrow.

(If you do not see this, hover your mouse cursor towards the bottom/middle. When the icons come up, {They were 'ghosted out'}, click on the PDF icon to the far right )

Provided that somehow you cannot download this motherboard manual;

Orient the motherboard so we are both looking at it in the same direction.
Same as it sits in the computer case.

Processor to the Top, Ram Memory to the Right, white PCI slots to the bottom.
The Front Panel header is at the Bottom/Right.

It is a rectangular block of plastic with two rows of pins.
4 across the Top, 5 across the Bottom.

It is numbered Even on the top, and Odd on the bottom.

Starting at the LEFT side going towards the right, on the top row;
Pins 2, 4, 6, and 8.
There is no Pin 10, just an empty space.

Starting at the LEFT side going towards the right, on the bottom row;
Pins 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9

A) Pins 1 and 3 are for the HarDDrive activity LED light. (Orange)
Pin 1 is for the Positive wire ( + )
If the LED light is dim when operating, switch the wires around.

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

C) Pin 9 is for 5 Volts. Not Used (Black)

D) Pins 2 and 4 are for the Power On LED light. (Green)
Pin 2 is for the Positive wire ( + )
If the LED light is dim switch the wires around.

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

Do not know what wires coming from the Front Panel are the Power On switch wires, Power On LED light wires, or Harddrive activity LED light wires?

Remove the Front Panel, trace the wires to the Power On switch. (Two wires. Probably twisted together. Or all wires are in a single sheath)

Same for the Power On LED light, and the Harddrive LED light.

Need to know where the harddrive, or optical drive plugs in?
Need to know where the power cables from the Power Supply plug in?
Please post back in a Comment.

You should read manual of the moterboard, there is wiring diagram that you need. But however, i suggest to you - take it to the expert, if you don't know how to do it.

did you call gateway they can help you

Here is the pinout for several Intel MB's with 845GV Chipset.

If you look at the motherboard there is usually a diagram labeled "FRONT PANEL HDR" that will tell you which pins are for: HDD LED, PWR LED, RESET, PWR ON. etc.
The chart / diagram may be a few inches away from front panel header.
the following example is from my emachine T2893 that I had opened because it won't power up.

the motherboard at the header connector labels pin #2 and with that you can figure out the other
pin numbers

example of diagram on motherboard (Confirm the pin numbers on your motherboard)


J9G1 PINS
| HD LED | 1 - 3 |
| PWR LED | 2 - 4 |
| RESET | 5 - 7 |
| PWR ON | 6 - 8 |

Hope this helps you figure which pins to hook you switch up to.

Go here for the manual

http://stason.org/TULARC/pc/motherboards/M/MICRO-STAR-INTERNATIONAL-CO-LTD-Pentium-II-MS-6119.html

If the leds dont light up rotate the plug 180 degrees.
The above site shows you where to place the plugs.
