I need to know front panel pinout values for IBM NetVista 49P15

The only place to get it is from IBM, as it was designed specifically for them to go in their ThinkCentre A50 line of computers.

The link for the User's Guide, which is what I presume you need, is:

http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-55533

If, instead, you want the Hardware Maintenance Manual, it can be found at:

http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-55532

Finally, if all you desire is the Quick Reference, go to this link:

http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-55534

Now, just to be complete, though I doubt this would do anything to help you, here is the Setup Poster:

You maybe able to download a motherboard manual from this WEB site and identify the connectors for the front panel.

Hello i depends on the manufacture of the mainboard.

The pinout for the frontpanel is placed down low in the right corner of the mainboard.

Here are the most used pinout:













Good luck

John,

The front of your computer is the Front Panel.
The area of contact pins on the motherboard, that the main wires from the Front panel go to, is the Front Panel header.

What you need is a Front panel header pinout.

This I do not have. What I do have, is a simplistic method that may allow you to find out, what the pinout is.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-ThinkCentre-M51-29R8260-Socket-775-Motherboard-w-P4-3GHz-SL7PU-/390456414497?_trksid=p4340.m263&_trkparms=algo%3DSIC%26its%3DI%252BC%26itu%3DUCI%252BIA%252BUA%252BFICS%252BUFI%26otn%3D15%26pmod%3D260995444535%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D1437936870868306373&_qi=RTM1062688

Looking at the Hardware Maintenance Manual for the ThinkCentre M51, (It also uses this mobo), the Front Panel header is to the right of the Ram Memory slots. (Processor to the left, Ram Memory slots at the Top)

Looking at the Ebay link, there are three views available. Click on the middle view. In the view photo the Front Panel header is the black rectangle below the Yellow ram memory slots.

Two rows of pins.
Power Supply plugged into power, use an LED light with two wires.
Go across the top row, and touch the first set of two pins next to each other.

No? Go on. Touch the next set of two pins. I'm willing to bet the third set of two pins is the Power On switch pins.
(Could be mistaken, however)

The contact made should be brief. The Power On switch is a Momentary Contact Switch.
Once the Power Supply comes on, wait a minute, then start testing the other pins.

LED light blinks? You have the HarDDrive activity LED pins.
LED light stays steady? You have the Power On LED pins.

Be aware however, that there may be 3 pins for the Power On LED.
Two Positive ( + ) pins, and one Negative ( - ) pin. This is for a dual color Power On LED. (Turbo mode/ Regular mode)
This would mean touching the first pin, or second pin, in the set of 3 pins, and the last pin in the set.

Computer restarts? You have the 2 pins for a Reset Switch.
(Do NOT touch the Power On switch pins again, or the computer may restart)

Not what I would like to state. Would like to state the exact pinout.
Perhaps if you get this figured out, you might take the time to post the pinout. Crude is fine, I can 'clean it up'. This way 100's to 1000's of people may be able to use your findings. Think how many people you would help.

Go here for the manual

the pins are usually labeld on the board itself or in the board manual

Start up your computer, Hit F1 go to Bios and see which is the model number of your IBM motherboard (usually is a number like this: 8313-BU7 (example))

Then go to Lenovo.com >> Support Drivers

Select >> Desktops >> Netvista >> Model Number (put yours) >> OS

And get the drivers and all the info about your machine.
