June 22, 20196 yr Hi Folks, Just need a little help - working on assembling a new build - a little confused on the front panel header. The MOBO has 5 connectors related to “power led” - my case has 2 leads for “power led”... I’m assuming I should use the 2 pins on the upper left of the header block - - - any idea what the 3 on the lower right of the header block are used for ? Thanks... Regards, Scott Edited June 22, 20196 yr by scottb613
June 22, 20196 yr Scott, I just went through this. This is the most stressful part of a new build for me. I invariably mess something up and have to redo it. You are correct. The pins you identified are the ones you want to use. The others may be for a different kind of case. Good luck.

June 23, 20196 yr Author Hi Bob/Ryan, Thanks as well... Yeah - I think we all worry about breaking something - this is my first de-lid - so even more potential for issues... Regards, Scott
