Where do I connect Power SW, Power LED, Reset SW, HDD LED on my motherboard?

[Nicholas Nicolaou]

Motherboard manufacture is Dell
Model is 088DT1

Where do I connect power sw, power led, reset sw etc.. on it? I bought a custom case for my desktop which I moved everything into, and I couldnt figure out where to actually connect them. I placed the power sw in a random spot an got it to turn on although there was no picture an I was forced to move it back into my old casing. where would I connect these wires on my motherboard exactly?

Do you have the manual? I'm guessing not but worth asking. Have a search online for it. In general though, the connections are usually at the bottom right of the MB and will be a row of tiny pins. Usually they are labled on the 'board so give it a close look.

on my mother board they aren't labeled at all. in the normal dell casing what would connect there is bunbled all together into one connection into 11 pins which makes it simple but the new custom case has the power sw an all that separate which.

You can look up the manual online. Typically on asus boards it goes something like this

.+power led-. .+power sw-.
.+hdd led -. . reset . .not used

It's a dell. Most use a proprietary front panel connector. Dell does not make the pinouts public. Give Google a shot using the make and model of the system and someone may have already figured it out and posted them somewhere. Otherwise you'll have to try and trave them out using the old case.
