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.

11) 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.

System Status LED

S0 On

S3/S4/S5 Off

• PW (Power Switch):

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

congure theway toturnoffyoursystemusing the power switch

(refer to Chapter 2, "BIOS Setup," "Settings\Platform Power," for

more information).

• SPEAK (Speaker):

Connects to the speaker on the chassis front panel. The system

reports system startup status by issuing a beep code. One single

short beep will be heard if no problem is detected at system startup.

• PLED/PWR_LED (Power LED):

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).

• HD (Hard Drive Activity LED):

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):

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):

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.

• NC: No connection.

pin assignments of the motherboard header. Incorrect connection between the module connector and

the motherboard header will make the device unable to work or even damage it.

Some chassis provide a front panel audio module that has separated connectors on each wire

instead of a single plug. For information about connecting the front panel audio module that has

different wire assignments, please contact the chassis manufacturer.
