http://www.motherboards.org/mobot/motherboards_d/Chaintech/VNF4%2BUltra%2BZENITH%2BVE/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.
Motherboard installed in computer case, (Processor to the Top, Ram Memory slots to the Right), the Front Panel header is at the Bottom/Right corner,
http://img.neoseeker.com/v_image.php?articleid=1773&image=24Black rectangle of plastic with 17 contact pins. Top row has 9 pins, Bottom row has 8.
Notice that the Bottom row has a White triangle pointing to the first pin.
This triangle points to Number 1 pin.
Top row has 9 pins.
Starting on the LEFT side going across to the Right;
Pins 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18.
Bottom row has 8 pins.
Starting on the LEFT side going across to the Right;
Pins 1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, NO PIN, and 17.
A) Pins 1 and 2 are for the Green Button. This is also the Standby button.
Let's discuss this for a moment............
Myself I wouldn't connect to it.
B) Pins 3 and 4 are for the HarDDrive activity LED.
(Light Emitting Diode, so to call it an LED light is redundant)
Pin 3 is for the Positive ( + ) wire.
If the HDD LED is dim when the Harddrive is active, switch the wires around.
C) Pins 6, 8, 10, and 12 are for an internal speaker. Used so the computer can generate BIOS Beep Codes.
Doesn't indicate which pin is for the Positive ( + ) wire, but with most motherboard speaker setups, Pin 6 would be for the Positive ( + ) wire, and Pin 12 for the Negative ( - ) wire.
D) Pins 5, 7, and 9 are for the Power On LED.
Notice there are 3 pins. This is used for a dual color Power On LED light.
Usually a Green/Yellow.
Pin 9 is for the Positive wire.
Two wire Power On LED? Positive wire goes to Pin 7, or Pin 9. I believe both to be a Positive connection.
Pin 5 I believe to be the Negative connection. ( - )
(I suggest connecting the Negative wire to Pin 5. Then connect the Positive wire to Pin 9. Not very bright? Put it over to Pin 7 )
E) Pins 11 and 13 are for the Power On switch.
F) Pins 14 and 16 are for a Reset switch, IF a Reset switch is used.
G) N/C for Pin 17. No Connection.
H) N/C for Pin 18. No Connection.
