Hi There

I have a Apple G5 Case with the included front panel connect, (Power Button, Audio Out, Firewire, USB) except i have runed into a little problem. I don't know which pin to connect to for the POWER-LED on my motherboard.

Here is the layout of the pin:



Which pins do I connect to and which order?

[Ouch]

The pin-outs are in the G5 service manual. See my last post here.

Thanks, but how do I connect them? DO I connect them to the 3 pins, Power-LED, or 2 pins, ATX Switch? And which pins do I use?

[Ouch]

You connect pin 13 to your power led V+ and pin 2 to the ground pin. Pin 14 is for the power button, you would connect that to the power buttons V++ pin on your motherboard.

I would help you, but I cant seem to access the Pinouts PDF file that Ouch!p0tat0 linked to in the other thread...

EDIT: Downloading it now... Very slow... I'll help as soon as I can. I know how annoying it is to not be able to hook up these pins. When I built my first PC, I had everything I needed. Put it all together, but I had never read anywhere about these little cables and where to pin them in. Thankfully, I figured it out after a while.

EDIT 2: Hope this helps:

Oh... Well, what motherboard do you have? (Make, Model...)

[Mac OSX Coder]

DFI Lanparty, you can see the pinout in my previous posts, it has all the pinout for where to plug in the stuff.

Hehe - it's sitting on a server on my 256kbps up adsl link, so it's sloooowww.

Pin 2 -> Pin 17 on mobo
Pin 14 -> Pin 8 on mobo
Pin 13 -> Pin 2 on mobo

that's interesting, that's exactly what I did, and it doesn't work. I tested switch, and it works... maybe something between board or somethign?

[Mac OSX Coder]

alright gang, I got it working!

Just to clarify, it works like a regular pc switch right? and the little led dot is supose to light up?

[Update] Fixed some typos.

Should (usually) be two LEDs: Green = Power, Red = HDD Activity... Could be different colours though...

Oh... Sorry. In that case then, I wouldn't know...

What connectors/pin adapters do you use for the Front Panel. I have a G5 case and I lost the connector cable. I am hoping to buy some pin connectors but I dont know which will fit. Thanks.

To be totally honest mate, you raped a beautiful case and transformed it into a cheapo taiwanese one...

No personal offense, be it clear.
