My pc model acer vertion 5700gx i want the layout of the front panel connector

Your restrictions are based on available slot size and version. So get one that fits PCI-e x16.


Could not locate PCI version so check your manual, because the slots are backward compatible. Meaning you can connect a Ver 1 card into a Ver 3 slot, but not the other way around.

Expansion Slots - 1x PCI-e x16 slot, 1x PCI-e x1, 2 x PCI slots

Only a true Acer manual for this model of PC could assist you. They provide a special connector in this model, for the front panel connectors, that cannot be simply connected in a standard Desktop or Tower case.

Here is the manual showing the motherboard layout and front panel connectors

Page 14 is what you're looking for I believe. Hope it helps.

if you are talking about connecting the front chassis connectors to your motherboard then you need to find out the exact model of the MB... im assuming its Intel since its a Dell.

the link below should get you started

http://www.intel.com/support/product.htm

Lenovo's web-site: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/homeLenovo.do
should have the information.

What connectors are leading from the front-panel?
One "clump" of wires and one connector, or several separate connectors?

Hi Sean, FP1 front case connector is located below the battery, bottom right hand corner.
To download you're manual click on this link.

Motherboard layout is on Pg. 5
Front Panel Connector: FP1
(Please refer to the 18th item of motherboard layout.)
This motherboard includes one connector for connecting
the front panel switch and LED indicators.
Close up of FP1 found on pg. 15

What motherboard would you like to know the layout of? Although, many motherboards are different, most of them have the same basic parts. From back to front, you have the communication ports; (usually from top to bottom, varies by manufacturer)mouse/keyboard, usb 1.0/1.1/2.0(make and model dependant) serial, paralell, vga/monitor, then sound: midi, headphone/speaker out, line out, microphone in.
then on the board, processor, somewhere near it, cache, i/o chip, north bride chip, wich is responsable for memory(ram) access, ide(cd rom/ hard drive access) ports and power connector/s,
memory slots
then the south bridge chip witch controls isa port(old), pci slot, agp/pci-e slot (video card) along with the cmos battery, bios, and various other slots/connectors (such as fan, power button and so on) and chips, wich vary by manufacturer and model.
