MS-6511 motherboard advice please.

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.packardbell (More info?)

I'm trying to install an MS-6511 mobo in a non original case. The front
panel header (JFP1) pin-out can be found here...
http://tinyurl.com/9xk9a ... toward the bottom of the page.

The case's front panel has 4 pairs of wires:

1. PWR SW
2. PWR LED
3. RESET
4. HDD LED

The plug attached to pair #2, spans 3 adjacent pins with the centre pin
making no connection. The plugs on the other pairs are standard 2 pin.

I'm hoping that someone might be able to tell me how to match the front
panel's wiring to the header.

Thanks.

Please disregard the advice on checking continuity between ATX pin-14 and
the header to find the PWR SW. While I've done this on some older
motherboards, after doing some more research this is not accurate in
general.
