matched correctly.
6) F_PANEL(FrontPanelHeader)
Connect the power switch, reset switch, speaker, and system status indicator on the chassis to this header
according to the pin assignments below. Note the positive and negative pins before connecting the cables.
• PW (PowerSwitch):
 Connectstothepowerswitchonthechassisfrontpanel.Youmaycongurethewaytoturnoffyour
systemusingthe power switch (refer toChapter2, "BIOS Setup," "PowerManagement,"formore
information).
• Speaker (Speaker):
Connects to the speaker on the chassis front panel. The system reports system startup status by issuing
a beep code. One single short beep will be heard if no problem is detected at system startup.
• HD (HardDriveActivityLED):
Connects to the hard drive activity LED on the chassis front panel. The LED is on when the hard drive
is reading or writing data.
• RES (ResetSwitch):
Connects to the reset switch on the chassis front panel. Press the reset switch to restart the computer
ifthecomputerfreezesandfailstoperformanormalrestart.
• CI (ChassisIntrusionHeader):
Connects to the chassis intrusion switch/sensor on the chassis that can detect if the chassis cover has
been removed. This function requires a chassis with a chassis intrusion switch/sensor.
• MSG/PWR (Message/Power/SleepLED):
Connects to the power status indicator on the chassis front panel. The LED
