Install connectors for the front panel cables.
Install connectors for the front panel cables.
Hello everyone, I’ve relocated all my components into a fresh case and am facing issues with the front panel connectors. I’m uncertain about the correct cable assignments—it’s my first experience swapping cases. For context, my motherboard is a Lenovo LGA1151 DDR4, and it lacks clear labeling like JP1 or USB ports. My previous case housed everything in one place, but this new setup has several cables. I’ve attached some images for guidance. I’ve located the right pin configuration for the HDD to power on the power button (the yellow block), but the PC still won’t start. I’m also awaiting a replacement PSU to continue troubleshooting.
Locate the power control using a flathead screwdriver or similar tool. Touch two pins together briefly to test if the computer powers on. If it does, those pins are the power switch connections. No damage risk exists; headers contain only pins for LEDs and switches. For reference, I found a relevant discussion here: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkCentre...-p/5074918. Alternatively, assume the pinout matches typical motherboard layouts and use standard patterns. A sample image from Google can also help.
