You find the layout of the board on page 12 The connectors to look at is 18 Powerled Header PLed1 and 20 System Panel header. The system panel header are the two inner pins from the left. The outer are for the hdd led. The have a sense (the pinning are usually placed with a red cable for + and a white one (or black) for mass.
Whether the Nr 18 is to be branched depends on the case. ftp://europe.asrock.com/Manual/X99%20Extreme4.pdf

Thanks Stakanov, Seems like the LED on my chassis is weak. Maybe I need one of those neon light kits that fit behind the transparent side panel? I could actually do that I think, but it seems a bit obnoxious. Maybe I can find a small LED to somehow mount to the side panel? (My panel does have a transparent window if I could find a surface mount led package I could mount to the back of the side panel, and the side panel faces my chair, so it would work fine.): http://www.thermaltake.com/Chassis/Mid_Tower_/Core/C_00002402/Core_V51/desig... The case actually has a 3-year warranty and it's only a year old, but I doubt it is worth the hassle to Thermaltake fix it. Especially if that involves shipping the whole chassis to China or something. == details I've now have the sides off and the front panel off. I can now see the actual LED and not just the circle around the power button. I actual have two identical chassis's. So I have the front panel off the other one too. The LED is actually lit, but it's very dim. It's also fluctuating in brightness occasionally. The "good" one is steady and bright. Right now the bad one is really dim, but then it gets bright for a half second or so. By dim, I mean even with the room light off, it is dim. The good one is at least 5x brighter. I pulled the cable loose and reseated at the MB end. I even moved the connection from connector 20 to connector 18. Same dim LED. On the front panel end, it is very hard to get to and I'm not sure it even has a connector, as opposed to being soldered directly to the front panel board. I did poke around either the connector or the solder joint, but I didn't pull very hard. Seems like overkill to replace the chassis because of a weak power LED. :( Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
