Click on Download
In the OS box enter WinXP. (Click on the blue down arrow to the right of the box. Click on WinXP.

This is a PDF file. The computer you are using now has Adobe Reader on it, which uses PDF files.
It may take as long as 30 seconds before you see the first page come up, after you click.
It may also take additional time to fully download. (Watch the download progress bar)
{It took 12 seconds for the download progress bar to fully load, and an additional 7 seconds for the first page to come up, just now. The file was fully downloaded}
At the top of the PDF file is a page number box. It is to the right of the blue Down Arrow.
This is the page number I will be referring to, not the actual page number for the PDF motherboard manual.
The plastic front of the computer is the Front Panel.
The area of pins on the motherboard, that the cables (Wires) go to, is the Front Panel header.
Also known as the FPC. Front Panel Connector.
In the manual it is referred to as the System Panel Connector.
Processor to the Top, Ram Memory slots to the Right, the Front Panel header is at the Bottom Right corner.
It is two rows of pins going parallel with the bottom edge of the motherboard.
Page 19
Page 43 shows the pinout for the Front Panel header. (System Panel Connector)
The pins are not numbered in the manual. I'm going to number them for easier clarity, when referring back to them.
Starting from the Left side of the motherboard going to the Right, across the TOP;
Pins 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, and 19.
Starting from the Left side of the motherboard going to the Right, across the BOTTOM;
Pins 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20.
A) Pins 1 and 5 are for the Power On LED light.
Pin 1 is for the Positive ( + ) wire.
If the Power On LED light is dim reverse the wires around.
B) Pins 13, 15, 17, and 19 are used for an internal speaker. The internal speaker is used for BIOS Beep Codes.
C) Pins 2 and 4 are for the HarDDrive activity LED light. (HDD)
The LED light that blinks when your harddrive is active.
(Your harddrive is an IDE model. Hence they used IDE_LED
{IDE is also PATA)
D) Pins 12 and 14 are for the Power On Switch.
E) Pins 18 and 20 are for a Reset Switch. IF used.
