Question Lain Li lll Front panel connector.

[Morept4u]

Hello. I just bought a Lain Li lll case but the front panel power connection does not match the power front panel connection on my motherboard. I bought a splitter so I can rearrange the pins as needed to make the Power, Reset SW and Power LED connection match what is listed on my motherboard. I need to know which connections in the Lain Li connector correspond to Power, Reset SW and Power LED.

Where's that motherboard from?

Anyways, that plug is standard fit for non proprietary board. If you look at any manual ie Asus z590 tuf gaming, since that's what im using, for system panel header on page 1-20 labelling the two pins for power switch which are located same row next to the solid plastic bit.

The motherboard is a ASUS Z87-A. I know where the power connection pins are, they are clearly labeled on the board and in the manual. My question is not in regards to the motherboard but the case connection. The case connection is for Power, Reset SW and LED Power only. I need to know which pins inside the case connection correspond to each of those so I can connect my splitter to the appropriate spot.

Oh sorry i was looking at something different, thought the picture in your op was the lower right part of the motherboard. I'm like what the hell is that, i see now it's part of the case lol. Thought i did answer how to find out the pins though, as in referencing a manual from a modern motherboard (current standard which your case follows) to identify which pins. Can't you lead the original cable back to how it was to find out?

I appreciate your response. I understand your diagram but that's not how my pins are setup.

This is mine.

My Power, Reset SW and PLED do not line up to use the standard connector, so I must use a splitter. The problem is the pins in the connector are not individually labeled. I tried to trace the connection on the circuit board but I was unsure of the results.

Diagram was only meant to indentify which pins the case would use. So there's no way to trace the original cable. There's another row of 6 posts on case circuit board, is there anything labelling what the posts are underneath?

I know I have six pins inside plastic case connector. Two for Power, two for Reset SW, and two for PLED positive and Negative. I looked at the circuit board but I'm not 100% as to what goes where.

Power and reset do not care about polarity as they only short between the two pins so you can plug them in either way. The LED only works one way but you won't damage anything if it's plugged in backwards because it's a diode (it just won't light and if it doesn't, reverse the connection)

There's no need for the splitter because all it takes is a needle or pin to remove the wires from the plastic block. You can rearrange them however you like and then put them back into the block.
