Connecting front panel cabel to motherboard (unlabeled connectors)

[duncan.wallace]

Okay, second attempt trying to post this question.

Bought Asus H81M-Plus motherboard to replace old Dell one. Most things connect, but front panel won't

See here and here.

Note that the front panel connector expects 11 pins, but the socket only seems to have 9. The connector block can't be separated out (the wires are colour coded, but unlabeled and don't seem to be designed to be separated). However, two of the slots on the connector don't seem to be connected to anything. I'm tempted to take a tool to the connector and cut off the end of it!

Some help would be appreciated!

Update: HERE is a better picture of the cable I'm trying to connect. I am pretty certain I have correctly identified this as the front panel connector.

Are you sure that is for front panel? I ask, because it looks like the Front AUDIO connector, and not the Power buttons.
Sadly, when you buy an "all in one" PC they are very custom and normally difficult to upgrade.

To be honest I'm not certain because they're not labelled in any way. I can't see anything else that might be the front panel connectors though. Looking to where the wires lead is ambiguous. They seem to be connected to the front panel, but the microphone and headphone jack are in that location too :/

I am 99% sure that will be the Audio cable which should be the most bottom left connector.

Can you trace those wires back to the components on the case to see what they connect to? That's the best way to figure out exactly what you have.

Also, do you have another bundle of wires with either one connector or several smaller ones?
