Hardware Installation

The front panel design may differ by chassis. A front panel module mainly consists of power 

switch, reset switch, power LED, hard drive activity LED, speaker and etc. When connecting 

your chassis front panel module to this header, make sure the wire assignments and the pin 

assignments are matched correctly.

8)  F_PANEL (Front Panel Header)

 

Connect the power switch, reset switch, speaker, chassis intrusion switch/sensor and system status 

indicator on the chassis to this header according to the pin assignments below. Note the positive and 

negative pins before connecting the cables.

PW

 

 (Power Switch, Red):

  Connects to the power switch on the chassis front panel. You may con

fi

gure the way to turn off your 

system using the power switch (refer to Chapter 2, "BIOS Setup," "Power Management," for more 

information).

SPEAK

 

 (Speaker, Orange):

  Connects to the speaker on the chassis front panel. The system reports system startup status by is-

suing a beep code. One single short beep will be heard if no problem is detected at system startup.

HD

 

 (Hard Drive Activity LED, Blue):

  Connects to the hard drive activity LED on the chassis front panel. The LED is on when the hard drive 

is reading or writing data.

RES

 

 (Reset Switch, Green):

  Connects to the reset switch on the chassis front panel. Press the reset switch to restart the computer 

if the computer freezes and fails to perform a normal restart.

CI

 

 (Chassis Intrusion Header, Gray):

  Connects to the chassis intrusion switch/sensor on the chassis that can detect if the chassis cover 

has been removed. This function requires a chassis with a chassis intrusion switch/sensor.

MSG/PWR

 

 (Message/Power/Sleep LED, Yellow/Purple):

Connects to the power status indicator on the chassis front panel. The LED 

is on when the system is operating. The LED is off when the system is in 

S3/S4 sleep state or powered off (S5).
