wlazara Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Hi guys, I am working on a 2009 Mac Pro chassis and it seems to have a newer 44-pin connector as compared to the older models. Does anyone happen to know the pinout for this 44-pin connector? There was a thread at aquamac but no real info and that board doesn't really seem to be functional at the moment. Thanks!

dacho Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Any updates on this?? Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/230487-44pin-front-panel-connector-2009-mac-pro/#findComment-1551215 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoran Bogunovic Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 see what i can find out researching... UPDATE: no hits but if you have the harness that would normally connect to the front panel you could do some continuity test to confirm the pinout... few hours work but you'd be the first with documentation Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/230487-44pin-front-panel-connector-2009-mac-pro/#findComment-1551221 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlazara Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 Anyone have any other ideas? I am willing to work on figuring this out, I just have no idea how to go about it or what equipment would be required... Thanks!

Mystroe Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Any help on this would be appreciated. Looks like the connector is an IDE. Will test this and report back.

Will test this and report back. yep when I noticed it was 44 pins I figured a basic ide cable might work - but the trick is figuring out the pinout apple is using and i have no clue how to do that :-) let us know what you find out!
