I recently purchased a NZXT h510 elite case to upgrade my Dell optiplex 3020 with a new power supply and GPU. I understood that many of the motherboard pins are unique, but I believed I could rearrange components such as the HDD light and power switch using the correct pinout. The main issue is the lack of clear documentation online. The h510 Elite includes a front panel splitter, which I prefer over soldering connectors together. If anyone has prior experience or can share a diagram, it would be incredibly helpful. Feel free to send pictures if needed. Thanks!

We recently created connectors enabling standard front panel I/O to interface with Dell Optiplex board headers. Find more details at the link provided: https://github.com/HarbinRepairs/Dell-Op...r-Adapters
