Finding Front Panel Harnesses
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to buy F-Panel harnesses for
computer cases? I need the LEDs and wiring harness that run between the front panel of a large ATX case to the motherboard. http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/l...nelOutside.jpg http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/l...anelInside.jpg Thanks. Darren Harris Staten Island, New York. |

Darren Harris Staten Island, New York. I've scrapped many a computer over the years and I've found there were significant harness differences between cases. You might need to rifle through some old cases to get the various LEDs, switches, etc. and then make up your own harness from individually suitable components. I have a box full of harness components that I use in just these circumstances or when a lead breaks off a component and the tag end is too short to solder a new lead on. It's the bower bird in me, I guess. -- Krypsis |

Thanks. Don't think the wires will be much of a problem--it's the mechanical fit of the component on the end of the wire that will have to match up with your hardware. The microswitches, in my experience, have been fairly consistent but the LED's come in different shapes. Your case does appear to expect circular/domed LED's, so what you've picked will probably fit the bill--or at least you can make up the difference with a shot of hot glue. On the motherboard side, those plugs have essentially become the standard. As long as your motherboard has been manufactured in the last 5 or 7 years, it should match up neatly enough. |

Well, that's the problem. My ITX case and motherboard is older than that. The motherboard end of f-panel cable has a 9-pin connector. This picture is what I think the pin0outs are going by looking at and following each lead, but I can't be sure until I try trial and error to see what works. http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/l...lConnector.jpg And thanks to the present keyed connector I can only test motherboard pin positions 1 through 8 if I re-pin the existing connector. http://s290.photobucket.com/albums/l...oboF-Panel.jpg Thanks.

Darren Harris Staten Island, New York. The cables would typically be arranged as twisted pairs. So on the 2x5 harness on the computer case, there would be a pair for HDD_LED, PWR_LED, PWR_SWITCH, RST_SWITCH. Tracing the two switches and two LEDs, back to the 2x5, will tell you for sure what the pinout is. If the 2x5 has a bend-out tab on each hole in the shell, you'll be able to back the pins out of the 2x5. Then, purchase four 1x2 shells, and insert the wires and pins into that. http://www.frontx.com/cpx075_8.html (need four of those) Now, after the cable harness is modified, you'll be able to bring those four 1x2 connectors, and place then on the 2x8 motherboard connector. PWR_SWITCH 1x2 - to pins 3,5 HDD_LED 1x2 - to pins 2,4 PWR_SWITCH 1x2 - to pins 6,8 RST_SWITCH 1x2 - to pins 10,12 Again, the question would be, what alternate sources are there for 1x2 polyester shells on the Internet. You could buy an Ebay assembly, and strip the 1x2 pieces off that. Note that in this picture, the Power LED is a 1x3 connector, but you can set it up as a 1x2 or a 1x3 when installing the pins. The header on the ITX motherboard, even takes that into account, and can handle a connection via pins 1,5 instead of 3,5. Only one of the two "PWR_LED+" signals need to be connected, so a 1x2 or a 1x3 can be used as alternatives. http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/sceusa/CASE_FRONT_wires.jpg HTH, Paul |

The 1x3 connector would be handy for the Power LED connection, as it appears to support a tri-state power indicator: (1) no power at all, (2) powered but shutdown, and (3) powered and running. You may have to dink with it a little if your case's power indicator is strictly binary. (Some cases have a green and amber LED embedded in a power button.) - - - - - - My email is: grinder twenty-one twelve at a Google's popular mail service |
