Hard Drive LED Header: HDLED 

If your case front panel has a hard drive LED cable, attach it to this header. The LED will 
flicker when there is hard disk drive activity.   

 

Reset Switch Header: RESET 

This header can be attached to a momentary SPST switch (reset button) cable on your case 
front panel. The switch is normally left open. When the switch closed, it will cause the 
mainboard to reset and run the POST (Power-On Self Test). 

 

Power-on Switch Header: PWRBTN 

This header can be attached to a power switch cable on your case front panel. You can turn 
your system on or off by pressing the button attached to this power switch cable. 

 

2-pin

 Power LED Header: PWR LED 

These mainboards provide a 2-pin power LED header. If there is a 2-pin power LED cord on 
your case front panel, you can attach it to the 2-pin power LED header. Then the power LED 
will illuminate while the system is powered on. 

 
 

3-pin

 Power LED Header: PWRLED   

These mainboards also provide a 3-pin power LED header. If there is a 3-pin power LED cord 
on your case front panel, you can attach it to this 3-pin header instead of attach to the 2-pin 
one on the SW/LED header.
