iMedia 5118 front panel wires for new motherboard - please help

Hi all,

I've been looking everywhere to identify the wires from the front panel to
connect to the new motherboard.
They are as follows:
White (FP But IN) & Black (Ground) - Power button
Blue (HDR Blink Green) & Green (HDR Blink Yellow) -???
Yellow (HD PWR) & Brown (HDA) -???

The case has a power button which was the easy bit to wire up. On the new
motherboard for the Power button there is PLED and +5v pins, for the HD LED
there are a + pin and a - pin.

Please can someone tell me which wires go to which pins for the HD and power
LEDs?

Really would appreciate any help on this.

Seriously, have you used a magnifying glass to spot any teeny tiny white
lettering on the motherboard? Many of them have clear but small
markings indicating which wires attach to which leads... Ben

Marty,

Here is a link to a page on the PB web site showing the front panel
connections for the motherboard:

If found it with Google, not by navigating the PB web site, which leaves
something to be desired in its organization. The motherboard itself was
made by Gigabyte for PB. It is a special model, GA-8IDMNF, which is
remarkably similar to the newer GA-8SIML, for which a manual is
available on the Gigabyte web site. Also, the GA-8IDML seems to be very
much similar to your board. Again, use Google to find them fast.

Many thanks Ben, I must be honest though that I had already seen that page.

I couldn't really tell what the abbreviations meant but I managed to get it
sorted in the end as follows:

FP BUT In (white) - PWR (ATX Power Switch)
Ground (black) - Ground (ATX Power Switch)

HDR Blink Green (blue) - PLED (Power LED)
HDR Blink Yellow (green) - +5v (Power LED)

HD PWR (yellow) - IDE_LED1 (+)
HDA (brown) - IDE LED1 (-)

Many thanks

Yes, it's all just a little too cryptic. Motherboard manufacturers
label the pins one way, and chassis makers label the connectors another
way. Some motherboard manufacturers do not label the pins at all, and,
of course, there is zero consistency in all this naming... Ben
