Question Is it ok to just try out every pin on the front panel connections?

[roan1segers]

Hey, i'm finishing up this build i'm doing using a veriton x4630g mobo i had laying around. I can't find a manual anywhere for this motherboard so i'm having some problems connecting the front panel cables. I already found the right pins for the power SW cable and i wanted to just try the other cables on random pins to see if it works. Will this damage the pc?

It could. If you had a speaker for example, it would be the equivalent of a short circuit if you plugged it to a power and ground pair.
Randomly plugging in things is not a good idea.

Alright thank you, guess i'll just use the power button for this one.

Maybe post some pictures of the motherboard pins and someone can help you.

The left and right pin of the third row (bottom to top) are the pins for the power Sw cable
