Motherboard with no front panel connectors?

[Corey_26]

Hi all. From work I got an old computer from a customer that's pretty decent and wanted to switch it to an old gaming tower I had. I know the thing will fit, but the case has all these cords for leds and the power button I think and I don't see where they'd go on the motherboard. Does this just mean I can't use that case?

Heres a pic of the motherboard (sorry if it's hard to see), the cords from the new case, and the motherboard specs - http://imgur.com/a/z8QHt

Let me know if you need any other info.

"Lenovo" - if the motherboard is from a OEM brand, there's a good chance it has custom interface to the front panel (eg Dells have it on a ribbon cable).

If you are lucky, you might be able to reverse-engineer the front panel connector (looking where each button and LED goes). You might also want to find service documentation for this particular Lenovo desktop.

Thanks for the reply, that's not the motherboard though. This is the computer I have! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1N84E97807&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC-_-pla-_-Desktop+PC-_-9SIA1N84E97807&gclid=Cj0KEQjw3ZS-BRD1xu3qw8uS2s4BEiQA2bcfM4X_RR7NFuv7AdZLd8vWiBHm6Ja3HOGThoHAlkJ7g74aAsw-8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds

It is OEM, I really hope that's not my only option though xD

That information is for the Lenova Bantry CRB motherboard.

Oh, I see you're right. It is slightly different though as mine only has 2 ram slots. Though I'm not sure what that adapter would be for. I see the Fpanel connectors but the guide does not specify what goes where.
