I am attempting to transfer the motherboard of my h50-50 to a different case. I am doing this in order to make room for a much larger video card and psu that simply will not fit in the Lenovo case. I have run into a bit of difficulty with the 'Front panel connector'. If you look in the 'Lenovo H50 SeriesHardware Maintenance Manual' it is on page 28 (Lenovo H50-50). I have been trying to find the specs on what each pin is for but have been unable to find such information. Could someone please direct me to where I can find such information or could you please provide me with the details? Specifically I am looking for the power switch pin(s), hdd activity pin(s) etc. thanks
Welcome to the Lenovo Community !
There is no documentation that I am aware of that show the pinouts of the various connectors on your motherboard. I would just use an Ohm meter on your old H50-50 case and trace wires on the old front panel plug. Once you know how the old plug was configured you will know the pin assignments on the motherboard.
What is the layout on the motherboard for the front panel LED connectors? The XPS 9000 manual does not specify that at all. The motherboard itself is model number 0X501H, as given by CPU-Z.
Is the layout the same as the one listed in this thread below regarding the XPS 8500?

HI, I have a Sony Vaio RS720g that I need a Front Panel Pinout of the Motherboard to be able to connect the Power Switch and Led's. Someone attempted to install a different board in the case and changed the front panel wiring to another board. I then inherited the problem and can get no help from Sony. Says it's a secrect. Any help would be appreciated. This MB has PTGD-VX stamped on it.
Oh yea NEVER BUY A SONY. Thanks
the pin out should be standard as follows: 2 rows of 10 pins with gaps. Providing you do not leave things connected permanently you cannot damage anything - it might stop but thats all. Pin 1 is commonly the furthest away from any corner.
1 = pwr led +
3 = pwr led -
5 = pwr led -
7 = null
9 = null
11 = null
11 = null
13 = spkr
15 = null
17 = null
19 = spkr
next row
2 = HDD +
4 = HDD -
6 = null
8 = null
10 = null
12 = pwr
14 = pwr -
16 = null
18 = reset
20 = reset -
hope this helps.
Hello! I was wondering if I could have an expert help me out with a project. I ordered a board, and need the pinout of the front power connection for manual power-on without a header. The Designator is J98 on board HP 603887-001 on a HP Proliant DL165 G7 system board. Item #25 on the service manual. All I would like to do is power test the board with no FP button.

Read other 1 answersGreetings all...I am curently in the process of transferring the "guts" (motherboard, i5 4460, etc) to a different case. However, I am running into some difficulty getting the new separate front panel connectors of the new case matched up to the "proprietary" pin block where the black connector that was in the old Lenovo case used to go. I will include images of the motherboard connector along with the connectors from the new case I need to hook up. The only info on the motherboard is on a sticker which reads MB FRU W8s (I will include a photo for reference). Any help is MUCH appreciated!

I've been looking for the front panel pin layout on the Dell Dual Xeon Motherboard with Dell P/N: 0WN7Y6 (it is a # zero, W, N, #7, Y, #6).
The front panel connector is 27-pin...28 spots with one pin left blank. The pin layout isn't included in the manual and I'm trying to boot two of these motherboards without the 27-pin connector. I just need to know which pins need to be jumpered in order to test for boot to BIOS.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Dell doesn't make the front panel connector pin-outs public. So unless you map them yourself or somebody else has done it...
Read other 3 answersHi Guys:
It's been a while since I've posted a question, however, this one is really bugging me. Recently, I've been putting together a lot of systems that have the 9-pin front-panel connection on the motherboard. The problem for me is that the ACPI/LED has only a
2-pin and most cases come with 3-pin cables. No mater which way I input the 3-pin cable, the front-panel LED light will not come on. Does anybody know what I'm referring? If you can Be of assistance, please give me some input.
Thanks.
If the motherboard requires a 2 pin connector and the case manufacturer supplies a 3 pin connector just take the pins out of the connector and place them next to one another in the connector. There is a little tab on the connector you can lift up and slide the pin out. It's hard to explain here, but once you look at it closely you will see what I mean.
Hi, I just purchased a Gigabyte UD3R motherboard. My computer case is at least 6 years old (don't know make) and many of the connectors don't match description to motherboard.
Cables for Audio:
RETURN L (Blue)
RETURN R (White)
SPKOUT L (White)
SPKOUT R (Green)
GROUND (Black)
MIC BIAS (Yellow)
MIC-IN (Pink)
My case doesn't provide an HD audio module so I need to set it up for AC'97 functionality. The pin set up is as follows
Pin 1 - MIC
Pin 2 - GND
Pin 3 - MIC Power
Pin 4 - NC
Pin 5 - Line Out (R)
Pin 6 - NC
Pin 7 - NC
Pin 8 - No Pin
Pin 9 - Line Out (L)
Pin 10 - NC
Really appreciate the help. Thanks!
Most probably should work by:
MIC-IN to pin 1,
MIC BIAS to pin 3,
GROUND to pin 2,
SPKOUT R to pin 5,
RETURN R to pin 6,
SPKOUT L to pin 9,
RETURN L to pin 10.

I am installing an Intel motherboard into a case that is equiped with 2 front panel USB connectors. The case came with no documentation.
What I'm looking at is 2 sets of 4 wires each labeled as follows:
a)USB1+ (yellow)
b)USB1- (green)
c)VCC (red)
d)Ground (black)
e)USB2+
f)USB2-
g)VCC
h)Ground
I found the following on the intel site:
1. USB_FNT_PWR
2. USB_FNT_PWR
3. USB_FNT 1#
4. USB_FNT 2#
5. USB_FNT 1
6. USB_FNT 2
7. Ground
8. Ground
9. Not Connected
10. Not Connected
I am assuming (yes I know what happens when you assume that:
USB_FNT_PWR = VCC
and
USB_FNT 1# = USB1+
Can anyone confirm this?

Read other 1 answersI replaced a eMachine mobo (I believe the model is Trigem Imperial -G),
for a friend. She purchased the used mobo from a computer repair shop
after her original mobo went bad. The PC boots up/runs no problems. The
computer repair store had no literature so I guessed at connecting the wires
that go to the front of the tower. Now the only way to power off the PC, is to
shut off the power supply itself. I could not find any info on the Web, except
the jumpers for CMOS, Password, etc. Managed to talk an eMachine support
rep, no help. What I need is a diagram/pinout how to connect the wires
going to the front of the tower(LEDs for power, disk drive, power switch etc.)
The board is Intel D845EPT2 with Intel 845 SE chipset. I found an English manual at the Intel site; but, it has nothing in it about the front panel LEDs, power switch, reset, etc. in all of its 80 (+/-) pages. I guess this board was originally intended to be used in a case that had a front-panel wiring block.
I did a Google search and came up with a plethora of irrelevant information.
I guess there might be a standard arrangement that Intel uses; but, I can't find anything indicating that either.
Thanks in advance.

Can someone help me? (Maybe someone with the same motherboard/problem). All I need is a way to identify the pins and make sure I don't like accidently fry my motherboard. Thanks a lot! -Andrew C.
Hi,
For starters, have you checked your manual? Also, look on the m/b...in really tiny abbreviated letters you should be able to see where these go (you may see "pw switch"...."HDD ACT"........i know when i was installing my connectors, i got most of them wrong..but dont worry..no frying of the motherboard.....if the connector is in the right place but no light from the LED..try reversing the cable........the easiest cables to place are the pw switch and the reset..as you can test these easily....good luck
I just put in a Soyo P4I865PE Plus Dragon 2 into a POWMAX case. I had another Soyo Dragon P4X400-8235 mobo that had fried, and I'm replacing it.
What the mobo connector pins for the front panel require are the HDD LED, ACPI LED, PWRBT, RESET, POWER LED, KEY LOCK, SPEAKER.
My case has the SPEAKER, THE RESET, and the HDD LED, plus a POWER SW, and
one cable with
mic-bias
spkout r
spkout l
Return R
Return L
and 2 cables each with
+vcc
+D
-D
grounds.
So I have the SPEAKER, THE HDD LED and the RESET pins connected.
Right now I'm not getting any power. I suspect that it's because the POWER LED hasn't been hooked up. I don't know if hooking the POWER SW to the POWER LED will do any good--or any harm. Any suggestions, or do I need a different case?
Thanks for any suggestions, tips, or answers.
What is the order of connection of the pin numbers for the front panel connector.
Eg: what number pin for the power switch etc.
This is for a E-machine D2685 mother board that i have recently purchased.

I am currently in need of the exact front panel pin layout on a pttt9 motherboard. I have searched, but can't seem to find a diagram labeling which pins are for power, power led light, etc. Could someone send me a link? I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!
Dell doesn't make front panel pin-outs public for any PC model.

Much Thanks and appreciation to those who read this read
Your front panel connections aren't odd, but they are old. They are for the AC97 standard.
Set your onbaord audio to AC97 in the BIOS set-up.
The AC97 pinouts are here:
Desktop Boards — Front panel audio header pinouts
1 Mic In
2 Ground
3 Mic Bias
5 Spkout R
9 Spkout L
It looks like the onboard audio doesn't support the Return lines.
There should only be one Spkout L connector. It's the white (not gray) one.
Have you really been trying to figure this out for 5 months? Yikes.
If these connections cause your PC to go up in a fireball, don't blame me.
Hello! Recently, I transferred my Dell Motherboard (From an Inspiron 560) to a new Rosewill Challenger-S case. All of that went fine and dandy but now I'm facing another problem: I don't quite know where to plug up the cables from the case's front panel (power switch, reset switch, HDD LED). I found a port on my motherboard labeled "Front Panel" which matches the ports, but one is missing like normal front panel connectors, and the cables only take up 6 out of the 9 pins. So the real question is, where do you plug up the cables, or do you even put them in that spot?
Sorry if that sounded really nooby,

I have Workstation xw4600 motherboard E93839 front panel connector is a 18 Pin. I cannot connect the front panel such as power switch button, reset button, HDD LED, and etc. Is there a pinout schematic for this motherboard's front pannel? I have ws ug xw4600 strg 453080-001 screen PDF that is the motherboard. Does not give the 18 Pin conector. Thank you for your time.
Above on the left is this specific forum's search box, and if you type in pinout and then hit return you will find what you need. The HP workstations of this era (xw6400 xw6600 xw4600 etc) used very similar pinouts with slight variations, and there are excellent posts in there where you can see all the variations. All the important ones will be there for you. Even the wiring colors have been quite uniform. Makes sense they would do it that way.

Hi (a post after a long time)
I've a F90M motherboard (with intel 915G chipset - i gues chipset doesn't have to do anything with front panel connections, but ... ). It came out of Acer 3700GX PC (i think its a bit old ).
Ok, now i'm trying to put it in a standard larger ATX casing. I've fitted it in and everything works fine except the front panel connections. I cannot identify the front panel connections and could only manage to identify the power switch pins on the motherboard.
I've searched over internet and couldn't find a manual of the motherboard (found manual for the PC on www.nodevice.com but it doesn't tell how to connect front panel)
so can you guys please suggest me the connections for front panel LEDs, Audio and USB.
and i really believe that you TSG guys are up to it
Thanks in advance
no replies????
is it such a hard/stupid question??
Situation
I just bought a new motherboard and a new Amd Phenom II 965 Black Edition Processor.
I believe I have installed everything correctly except for the the System Panel(The case power button which has 20-8 connector)I have 2 cords coming from the area near my power button one has 4 connection holes. The other one has 9(It's got a ton of different color cords combine).
Problem
I am not sure how to get the power button to work or even light up. If I plug in the 4 hole connector in a certain way the computer when plugged in turns on using the I/O but nothing comes up on the screen.The fans and lights however go(excluding the power button light).
I also have no idea whether which cord connects my 15 in1 Card reader(for cameras).

I could really could use help!
To Clarify what im trying to do
Need help connecting an HP Pavilion Power Button cord to my M4A78-EM motherboard.
I have a Foxconn C51GU01 uBTX motherbaord. I am trying to switch the case out from the gateway to my Antec. The problem I am having is this motherboard is not labeled like any I have ever seen.
The front panel looks like this: http://support.gateway.com/s/MOTHERBD/FIC/105552/105552mvr18.shtml
If someone could help me connect the front panel correctly it would be appreciated. My desktop is just taking up space because I cant figure it out.
Thanks in Advance.
This appears to use a standard Intel front panel pinout.
Looking at the picture pin #1 is the upper right pin in the graphic. On that side you will only use 4 pins. They are pin 1, 3, 5 and 7
Only the bottom row of pins you will also only use 4 pins. These are pins 2, 4, 6, & 8.
Pin 1 & 3 are HDD actively LED
Pins 5 & 7 are the Reset switch
Pin 9 is a No Connect
Pins 2 & 4 are Power LED
Pins 6 & 8 are On/Off Power Switch
Pin #9 should be Blank
Normally;
(Reset Switch) Pin 5 is Negative, pin 7 is Positive
(On/OFF Power Switch) Pin 6 is Positive, pin 8 is Negative
If the Power LED and the HDD LED don't work properly, just turn the KK connector plug 180°
I have installed a new motherboard into my computer and have everything connected with the exception of the HDD LED, Power SW and Reset SW. For the life of me I cannot figure out where they go. The instructions are useful to the point. It shows that the 9 pins (4 on top, 5 on the bottom) but doesn't provide any instruction on which cord attaches to where. All the above connections (HDD LED, Power SW, Reset SW) consist of 2 pins. There are different colors on the pins (2 red, 2 orange, 2 green, 2 blue, 1 yellow) and only the orange/red have the positive/negative marked on them. So how do I know what connections go where?
If it matters the Power SW is Black/White, the Reset SW is Green/White and the HDD LED is Red/White.
The motherboard is a: Foxconn M61PMV AM2+ Ready
I am fairly novice with this type of stuff so would greatly appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks In Advance,
Have you checked the top of page 14 of the motherboard manual? It has a clear illustration of the front panel header pins and which is which. The white wires would be the negative side.
so i have ak9a2 cf msi motherboard and a nzxt "tempest" case. the front panel audio stuff is confusing to connect to the motherboard.
am i missing something?
