what the heck does this mean?

you really need to be more specific, i dont know what your ASKING. im taking a guess and assuming you need help connecting the front panel I/O's.

what functions does the front panel on your case have?
how many leads are coming out of the front panel?
are the leads not identified?
if they are identified, what are they labelled as?
what the heck does Jfp1 mean?
is the moon really made out of cheese?each set of wires is wrapped in white casing...each connecter is seperate.read my edit above. ^Quote from: homer on February 06, 2008, 06:24:22 PM

Funtions...2 USB plugs
on-off switch for the bubble lights
mic/headpone plugs
then theres the stupid temp guage...measures temp of HDD, ect.

leads...11 all together

they are indentified, i listed above what each CONNECTION is identified as.

JFP1 is where the power switch and restart button connects into on the motherboard

noheres another link to the case

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=370018069268&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=024

you can see inside the case better.mic in
mic bias
spkr out l/r
return l/r
ground

Are all for the mic/headphones.

gnd
vcc
tpa+
tpb+
tpb-
tpa-
gnd

Are all for the Firewire port.

Your motherboard and case manual should have instructions on where they need to go and what they mean. You will have to use them together to figure it out. If you still have looked, and you cannot find out then ask your case and motherboard manufactures for instructions.as for the remaining connectors, a picture of them or a link to what they look like would help. also, your link to the inside of the case did not work for i do not have an ebay account.i figured out where to plug in the audio and firewire. i will take pics of the rest with my camera phone....they wont be that big but youll get the point..lol

as for the USB connectors...my MB manual gives me this:

pin 1 usbpwr
2 usbpwr
3usbp2-
4usbp3-
5usbp2+
6 usbp3+
7 gnd
8 gnd
9 nc
10 oc#

i have no pins thathave anything like that on it.my dang phone is in my car, and my brother is driving it....beautiful.

all of the connectors appear the same for the USB, Audio, Firewire.

As Homer was reluctant to say we cannot see the inside of the case from here...and eBay photos are not always accurate...
More info.i have my MB manual, and those instructions are no help.

last night i actually got the power buttons and audio in correctly, plugged it in and nothing happened...i only need to hook the power switch up correctly to get power to my system?

i took the front panel off to get a better understanding...seems like i hooked it up right last night...and there appears to be no lose connections. im going to mess with it again later.it would be nice to see what those connectors look like as most connectors are identified simply by their shape.Homer this guy is Wack yo... All the boards come with insrtuctions and how to connect them.. I'm sure if you go around it you will find your way.

Ok your PS has big connectors and they are easy to find.
Power stwitch they are are maked with color most of them and the mainboard is marked as the connectors are just get a magnify if you can see prop but most of them they are on the corners with pins marked as (swtch, pwled, etc)

Dont blow up your system yet its still new.
