Hi, There are 3 versions of this motherboard; 1.0, 2.0 & 3.3, but the layout is identical. The general layout is shown in pins.jpg. For the power led, the white wire goes to the (-) terminal either pin 2 or 3, both are MPD- while the green goes to the ( ) or pin 1 (MPD ) as shown in powerled.jpg HDDpins.jpg shows the connection of HDD led, the white goes to pin 3 or HD- while the red goes to pin 1 or the HDD . I cropped these images from the manual which is also available at the gigabyte website. Hope this gives you some ideas and workout of you. Good luck and pls post again how things turn up. Kind regards.

Wiring motherboard to a atx tower

The motherboard manual will give you a breakdown of the cast-to-motherboard connections for the board. They differ slightly from board to board, but the connections are almost always found at the bottom front corner of the motherboard. There will be connections for the hard drive LED, the power LED, the power switch, the reset switch, and on some, the speaker (optional). The power switch and the reset switch connectors , 2-pin plugs, are not polarized, meaning that they can be connected to their pins either way without issue. The Power and HDD LED plugs are polarized, as LEDs have a positive and negative. Get this plug backward and the LED won't work. These are also 2-pin plugs. The power LED usually has a green and white wire (Green is +) and the HDD is usually red and white (Red is +) . Some motherboards have color-coded pins -- DO NOT TRUST THEM IF YOU DON'T HAVE A MANUAL -- they are not always standardized. Some motherboards have small print on the board adjacent to the pins to identify them. You CAN trust these. Otherwise, go to the Motherboard manufacturers site and get the manual for the board. The model number is on the board and can be searched for. If the manufacturer's name is not obvious, Google the model number and it will usually lead you to the manufacturer.

Don't have manual and I am not sure how to connect the power switch, reset switch, power LED and HDD LED

if you do not have the manual it's here.

http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=manual&maincat_no=1&prod_no=260

those leads go on pins that are together usually by one edge of the board.They are hard to see but are marked.you should be able to see the reset and power switch quite clearly and if the leads are not lablelled then trace them back to the small reset switch and the power on switch

Power connections for tower led's

The manual in question can be located here

http://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/d1047103_en.pdf

It is a pdf file, so you will need ADOBE,
I have checked and the pinout for the front panel connectors is there.

Hi.

You can download the manual for your motherboard here.

Inside you will find information of where does each connector go. Each connector on the case has a marking on it (HDD, PWR, RST or similar) which stands for hard disk LED, power button, reset button and so on. Connect it to the right place, and problem is solved.

If you need any further assistance, feel free to ask.

Motherboard shuts down before booting !

You should clarify this a bit more, but please make sure all of your fans are plugged in and the no jumpers are set to over-clock the processor.Also, double check that everything is fundamentally compatible.

I have a e-machine. Model w3619 a friend sold to me. He unplugged the two power leads that lead from the power button on the front panel from the motherboard.Where do i reconnect them?

The correct wiring plan for this computer is as follows:

Pwr Led Pwr Sw N/C

X X X X O

X X X X X
HDD Rst N/C

Note : N/C = no connection, top row has no pin, bottom row has a pin but not connected.

when you plug in the Pwr Led and HDD connectors, a light should come on, if it doesn't , turn off the pc and turn the connector round on the pins, re -power on your pc.
