Step 8 Connect Cables

When attaching connectors to the motherboard, make sure to attach the

correct end. Most connector wires are color-coded. Match the color of

the wires leaving the switch or LED to the same pin on the connector

end. There may be more than one connector with the same color-coded

wire. If so, follow the wire to the proper pin on the switch or LED. Pin

1 is labeled on the motherboard.

In some cases, the "1" may be obscured. Pin 1 can also identified easily

by turning the motherboard over and looking at the connector pads. Pin 1

is always on a square pad. The cables to be connected are:

·

Reset Switch cable to J31

·

Speaker cable to J22.

·

Keyboard Lock cable to J30.
