First Time Build Problems

Well i'm currently putting together that new pc of mine but I can't seem to find any of the of the sockets for the LEDS and plugs at the front of the case on the motherboard, also all of the audio sockets (except the main one).

Also, some other plug don't appear to have any compatible sockets.

The motherboard is the Asrock ConRoe945G, case is the antec sonata II.

Thanks,
Limehouse.

Come on guys I need help desperately!

They should both be ATX standard so should work together, i would suggest reading the motherboard manual, or waiting around for someone with that combination, which is unlikely.

So i just suggest you read the manual, but i find they are usually on the bottom right of the board.

All you need to worry about is front USB if you want to connect them (should be internal USB header on the board, make sure you get the polarity the right way around or they can fry USB devices), Firewire is prolly not on that Asrock board, so you can ignore that, the front panel system connector doodles (like HD LED, PW LED, reset and power switch) and .... the front panel audio connector (so you can hear the mobo post beep).

Ok, i've now encoutered a new problem, I disassembled this pc, put together my old one and it failed to POST, it was 1-3-2 beeps.

In response to your post in the other guys thread, just look at page 22 and 23 in the manual, all the internal connectors are listed included the polarity, very easy to map that to your case connectors.

Thanks, that has cleared up half of it, but those pages don't mention anything about any of the front components (minus the USB ports)

Tetras · 23 Aug 2006 at 22:05

Front components? Can you be a little more specific?

Limehouse · 23 Aug 2006 at 22:07

The LED lights , power and reset buttons.

Tetras · 23 Aug 2006 at 22:16

Eh? Yes it is, titled System Panel Header at the top of page 23. PLED = Power LED, HDLED = (self explanatory), PWRBTN = Power Switch, RESET = (self explanatory). PWRBTN and RESET have # instead of + or - since they are a switch and the polarity isn't important.

cheers, the case guide was unclear, it said that Power supply goes in PWR and things like that, cheers.
