Control Panel

The control panel (located on the front of the chassis) must be connected

to the JF2 connector on the motherboard to provide you with system control

buttons and status indicators.  These wires have been bundled together in

a ribbon cable to simplify the connection.  Connect the cable from JF2 on

the motherboard to JP4 on the Control Panel PCB (printed circuit board).

Make sure the red wire plugs into pin 1 on both JF2 and JP4.  Pull all excess
