I'm running a Promise 100 TX2 on a W98 OEM Pll 450. I've never hooked up the
HDD LED. MOBO IDE 1 & 2 are running optical drives, therefore the HDD
activity light shows optical activity. The HDD's are on the card. My MOBO is
a Tabor ll 440 BX and my documentation does not show me pinouts for the
front panel headers. I can figure that one out by tracing the wire to the
LED. The question is about the header on the card. It is a 4 pin header
labeled IDE LED 1 and the right most pin labeled #1. The front panel
activity light is a 2 wire affair if I'm not mistaken. Immediately to the
right of the front panel header on the MOBO is another 2 pin header labeled
SCZI LED. To get HDD activity on the front panel do I unplug the HDD LED
connector from the MOBO and connect it to pins 1 & 2 of the card...or do I
connect it to the SCZI header? Also, is the 3rd & 4th pin on the card for a
second activity light? The Promise site offers no help in this regard. I'm
sure this one is simple but your help is appreciated.
TIA,
DTV
