Solve : Front panel header?

1.	Solve : Front panel header?
Answer» Hi, I cant seem to get the front panel pins on my desktop D865GVHZ intel mbd correctly. I follow the instructions for the pinout which is 1-3 hdactivity, led 2-4 power led, 6-8 on/off, 5-7 reset and another one for power led 1 and 3. When I power on the pc using the power supply, the processor fan kicks on but the button on the front panel does nothing. I actually dont know about the 6-8 on/off as I have no wire to use there. Can someone help? I have been trying for 2 days to get this going without success. Thanks As we cannot see the machine you are working on you will need to post some more info on what exactly you have sitting in front of you and someone will be ALONG shortly to assist... patio. 8-)Pictures are very helpful also.
