Hi i have a problem with panel1 on M848A v5.0 motherboard i cnt seem to work out how to connect the case properly it looks like this ()()()() ()()()()() i have the power switch, reset switch, hdd led and hdd led again please any help would be fantastic there is a manual but it only shows u the motherboard does tell you where the leads go

Page 25 of the manual will show you the proper place to put this.
Look for a PANEL1 label on your motherboard then look in the manual to see exactly which pins to use.

Hello you can download drivers, and the manual here:

By selecting the mainboard, by socket or number.

The front panel connection look like this:




Or this:


But i recommed to download and read the manual.

Good luck

The Power On switch connects to Pins 6 and 8.

Should you not understand the chart, or need additional info regarding this, just post in a Comment.

you need the wire diagram of case to plug in the right way you can fry the board if not right jim

The hdd red wire gooes to pin #1 the hdd white wire goes to pin #3 the power sw orange wire goes to pin #6 the power sw white wire goes to pin #8 The reset sw blue wire goes to pin #7 the reset sw white wire goes to pin #5 the power led green wire goes to pin #2 the power led white wire goes to pin #4.
Now the layout of the pins is the long row (5) pins are the odd number pins 9 being the odd one and 1 is the other end of the row. 2 through 8 start at the pin accross from 1 : : : : . I hope this helps you.

The MB you mention does not support SATA it has noSATA connectors

your motherboard only supports USB v1.1, make sure those are they type of connectors on your case, and if so, open this document and go to page 2-16 for diagram: http://dlcdnas.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/sock478/p4sdr-vm/e1104_p4sdr-vm.pdf

if the case only has USB v2.0 plugs, you cannot connect them.

I had the same problem. I bought the M848A from Newegg in an attempt to save my trusty Athlon 2600+ CPU and a fancy Raedon 512mb AGP card which I salvaged out of my old broken down system. I thought it would be a good time to update the RAM so I bought 2 gigs of OCZ 3200 DDR400 to go with.

Problems:
(1) First the damn thing wouldn't boot past the post screen. It would simply cycle thru post over and over. Fixed: The microsoft XPpro operating system was corrupt. The new board hated the old configs from the previous system. After trying (and failing) a os repair, I ended up simply doing a clean intall with great results. Board was stable worked great for a week. Only had one glitch...

(2) The board would only recognize and post ONE of the 2 gigs of ram I bought. I raided all the CMOS settings, and downloaded all the user manuals I could get a hold of and found no answers to this curious problem. On a whim, I opened the case and switched their locations back and forth which led me to...

(3) Lights on, no one home. All the lights came on... power, HDD, cd drives... all the fans worked: case, CPU, graphics card... but the screen would remain blank/unpowered and no post menu would come up. Seemed like it wanted to work, but simply stopped short of booting up. THIS WAS YOUR PROBLEM?!?? On a hunch, (more an angry impulse) I reached over and popped an old Mushkin Technologies (PC 3200 400DDR) 512mb out of my old dead mobo and slammed it solo in the primary memory slot. Bingo. Fired right up.

The board appears to be testy with its RAM... If it fails its initial memory test, it will not post. The screen will not come on. I'm not 100% certain this is the final solution to the problem... I'm still playing with it. My questions now are.... do I have dead RAM? Chip compatibility issues? Perhaps the PC Chips support techs on their website have some practical advice on this issue. I'll keep you posted if you like.

Try clearing the bios/cmos using the jumper on the board, page 10 in you're manual. Than try booting. See if you're keyboard allows you to get into the bios/cmos. I'm guessing you tried another keyboard? You can also buy a PS2 - to -USB Y adapter. This is what one looks like.

If you bought an AGP graphics card lately you might have also received a single PS2 to USB adapter free. Like this one.

It's not uncommon for the the lights to function & yet the keyboard not function. A single pin within the PS2 on the keyboard could be bent or bad or not seating correctly in you're new board.
