Where do my Motherboard Case Connectors go on the 'f_panel' pins?

[tomworthington2004.tw]

By saying 'Motherboard Case Connectors' I mean the HDD LED cable, the reset switch cable, the power switch cable etc.

Here is picture of 'f_panel' pins.

What is the make/model of the motherboard?

 

[nitrium]

From your picture it is impossible to say; you will need to post the motherboard make/model. Also it will be in the motherboard's manual, so if you have that lying around (or DL online) it'll answer your question.

COLGeek-

I can't get my Motherboard model number right now, but the motherboard is a Lenovo S510 00XK040.

nitrium:

I don't have a motherboard manual and I don't know how to get it.

Looks like an Intel standard layout. See here for help (similar Lenovo/IBM motherboard):

They'll frequently silkscreen a pin-out legend in a clear spot in another area of the motherboad if the area where the connector is located should be really crowded. Look carefully all over... it might be inside a white silkscreened box.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from tomworthington2004.tw : "I still don't know where my 'f_panel' power connectors go"

I still don't know where my 'f_panel' power connectors go and I can't finish building my PC until I find out.

Here is a much clearer picture of my 'f_panel' pinout:

Motherboard:

Lenovo Think Centre S510 00XK040 Intel Socket LGA1155

Anything else you need? The other link I was sent didn't show where the reset switch goes so I can't use that. I got my motherboard manual online but it doesn't mention it. I cannot find a diagram of it anywhere on the motherboard. PLEASE HELP ME

Did the original Lenovo case have a reset button? I ask because not all OEM systems (Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc) have them. A reset button is not essential to the system operating properly.

With the previous provided info, were you able to figured out any of the pins? If so, draw a diagram of the pins you figured out and take a picture of the layout for us to look at. We can make some educated guesses where the reset pins might go.

However, from the diagram above and looking at some system pictures, a reset button may not be supported.

Ya, Pin Out above seems to be for USB.
One of you is not looking at the right port to hook up the front header.

 

[USAFRet]

Can you give us a pic of the whole motherboard?

 

[COLGeek]

The previous Lenovo link does have the info for a front panel pinout. It lacks info for the reset button, that may not have been something on the original Lenovo case.

 

[USAFRet]

Here's the whole motherboard:

This looks to be a proprietary Lenovo board?
Notice the lack of a standard 24 pin block for the PSU.

What are you connecting this board to?
What case and PSU?

Case:

CiT G Force Gaming Case

PSU:

Aerocool Integrator 500w

My old case didn't have a reset switch, so there is not one in this diagram. My new one does, so I'll just have to leave it and have no reset switch. Everything else is on here though.

 

[COLGeek]

Then proceed without connecting the reset switch. It will not affect your performance in any way.

Thanks to everyone who helped! I didn't pick any answers as the solution because each answer had a part of the solution.
