hi, i hooked up all the parts from my psu to my mobo, but i cant find where i need to hook up this one wire, here is a picture of the wire and also the mother board i got, please help, or do i not need to plug it in? http://community.webshots.com/photo/212748726/416019187dDuKuO and here is my motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813157076 , please need help badly, and also i got a tower with 400 watts, and it has front usb ports, with many small connectors that need to be set up on the mobo, and i cant find the place to put them all at. thanx in advance
you don't need that connector but you do need the square 4pin. for the usb, there should be 2 rolls of 4 or 5pins. does the motherboard manual tell you what pins are what as in vcc, +,- & gnd?
so you now have 2 connectors attached to the motherboard, the 20pin & 4pin, correct? have you looked at your motherboard for the pin out for the usb's??
im at my sisters house right now, so i dont know what they really look like, there were like 8 or more of those small pins i believe for teh front usb port and other plug ins to the front of the tower, im not sure if i really need them but its always good to use what you have, sorry i dont relly know what you were talking about ddp.
if each pin is seperate, are they marked as vcc, -, + & gnd as you need them in that order connected to the motherboard. vcc is pin 1 & pin2, - is pin3 & 4, + is pin5 & 6, gnd is pin7 & 8.
okay, im still confused about that one, but i have naother problem, when i plug in the power cord into the back of my computer, my 3 fans spin, and the blue light of my computers fan turns on, than dies out really quick, and when i hit the power button to start the computer it doesnt do anything, i think my problem is that there are 3 connectors comming from there, their labeled, H.D.D LED, RESET SW, POWER SW, i have no idea where those go where
Since you mentioned the pinset for mostly front panel it sounds like, It reminds me of putting my first barebones together and the wires from the case not exactly matching the pinset configuration. I had to take a wire out, move it to an empty slot right next to it to make sure they all went together correctly. The connectors fit on the pins perfectly, but had to switch a wire slot to make it all work proper-like.
Not a fire wire really, the wires from your power button, HDD all that stuff might not be aligned right with the way the pins want them. You maybe possibly have to switch one around.
i have, but u see my problem is that i have no idea on what pins they do on lol, its like finding a needle in a dark room
your motherboard manual will tell you what pins are what! i presume you got a manual with the motherboard? check that the cmos jumper accaording to the manual is in normal mode not clear.
well see ddp, i did look at the manual "which i did get lol", and im not sure but i was thinking its under #17 of the mobo layout which is the System Panel Header (PANEL1), because on the mother board where that panel1 is it has something written in small letters PLED, and under neath that it has HDLED, than next to that it has PWRBTN and on the bottom of that it has RESET so it looks something like this *=pin **** ***** [PLED] [PWRBTN] [HDLED] [RESET]
the pled is your power led on the front of the case. is the connector a 3 pin, a single 2pin or 2 1pins & is the wires green & white? the PWRBTN is your power button from front of cases. the hdled is a single 2pin connector with red & white wires, correct?
they're all 2 pin connectors, the power sw is blue/white, the reset sw is gray/orange, and thee h.d.d led is orange red/white
the blue for the pled is + & the white is -. the orange/red is + & the white is -. doesn't matter for the power or reset buttons in how they are plugged in.
so in which way should i put them in, since the 9 pins are showed like this **** ***** now where would the blue/white go, the gray/orange, and the red/white
