Please help-P55 MB-where do I connect front panel to?

Do you have the manual for the motherboard? i should show you exact pinouts for all the connectors. If you don't have the manual, download it from the Gigabyte product site.

GB shows no P55-UD2; on the assumption it's a GA-P55M-UD2:


BTW, it's spelled "dummy"

Sorry it was the ambien talking lol
I meant front audio panel-not front panel-I have that connected up.

That is also shown in the manual. However, it might get interesting as HP doesn't have to use the standard plugs. Could you take a picture of the plugs you have?

USB can be a single row four pin; a single row five-pin, with or without one pin blocked; or a two row by five location, ten pin with a single pin blocked - the ten pin is easiest - you can only plug it in one way, due to the blocked pin!

The single row five pin will have an empty location at one end, a red wire at the other; the four pin will be 'filled', but will still have a red wore at one end; in either case, you can plug 'em into either row, with the red wire toward the end illustrated with pins 1 & 2...

The 1394 is, again, a two row by five location, ten pin with a single pin blocked - again, easy - you can only plug it in one way, due to the blocked pin:

Good luck! Questions? Post back...

M'thinks a lot of people are getting 'ye olde Chinese manual'!!
