[SOLVED] Front panel connectors to Mobo

[taylorbeeler]

Hello!

I've read post after post about this, but since I haven't found one for my specific motherboard, I decided to ask.. I bought a new case for my Dell optiplex 3020 Mobo and obviously the front panel connecters are different. After researching I realize I can get it to work if I find the right configuration, but I wanted to ask you guys first. Here are a couple photos to help...

Then there is also this one to the right:

Also worth noting is that the original case has a power button cable that plugs into this (PWR 5 pin, top right):

Mobo Model #: CN-040DDP-70163

What I have so far: https://ibb.co/J7rpJrd

(Currently awaiting a 4 pin cpu extender cable, so that isn't plugged in yet)

What do you all think?

I don't think I'll fry anything if I have to do some trial and error, right?

What's the motherboard model?
Dell uses proprietary Front Panel connectors and they are not located together like standard motherboards.
That green port labeled as "FRONTPANEL", is a front panel USB2.0 Connector

You're right, the power switch connector (PWR_SW) is located near the RAM slots.
Opposite to that on the other side, you will find the HDD LED and Chassis DetectConnector (FRONT_HDD_LED).

Sorry, the model # is CN-040DDP-70163

Dell, like HP, like to keep the layout to themselves.
You might need to figure it out by tracing the original wires and see where they go.
