I just bought a new chassis for an Intel motherboard (D845GLLY). The chassis has a "Power switch connector", but the motherboard doesn't have a connection for it on the board.
Intel® Desktop Board D845GLLY - Intel® Desktop Board D845GLLY support
Also, few cables have + or - voltages, how do I know which pin on the board is + or -?

It doesn't matter which way the connector is placed on pin's 6 and 8 as the switch is just a momentary switch that bridges a connection to the pins signaling to turn the machine on or off. -

I looked on that page and that sounds right. That looks like that is on panel C on page 64. -

Optionsbinarysoul Member Posts: 993Ok guys everything went fine and the system is up and running.
The only thing I can't figure out is getting the front panel audio to work. The new chassis has mic and speaker jacks at the front, so I want to use those instead of ones at the back. The manual says remove jumbers on the MB, but there is none. Any idea?\ -

If the block exists then just plug in the front panel connectors into that. The jumpers are only if you don't have front panel audio connectors. -
Optionsbinarysoul Member Posts: 993Is J8A1 missing completely or is it just missing the jumpers?
J8A1 is missing in the location specified (besides 2nd PCI). -
