Connecting Front Panel Cable 

Attach the power LED, speaker and reset switch connectors to the corresponding 
pins. If you enable “Suspend Mode” item in BIOS Setup, the ACPI & Power LED 
will keep flashing while the system is in suspend mode. 

Locate the power switch cable from your ATX housing, which is a 2-pin female 
connector from the housing front panel. Plug this connector to the soft-power 
switch connector marked SPWR.
