I believe that I alsohad to split the power led connector to get it to fit on
pins 2&4.
The pin layout for the FPI connector is wrong in the K7S5a manual.
Pins 2 and 4 ---- Power LED 2---Green (+) 4 --- White (-)
Pins 6 and 8 ----Power Switch 6---Black (+) 8 ---White (-)
Pins 1 and 3 --- HD LED 1---Orange (+) 3----White (-)
Pins 5 and 7 --- Reset Switch 5---White (-) 7---Orange (+)
At least on my K7S5a rev 3.1
If you still have problems, try using the Clear CMOS jumper for several seconds
while the unit is unplugged from the wall.
JP4 1-2 Clear CMOS and 2-3 Normal
The manual instructs you to disconnect the Power Cables from the mainboard
before doing this although many just say to unplug the power cord from the wall
or surge protector outlet.
