The motherboard has a lot of connectors for connecting various devices. This includes the processor, video card, RAM, etc. Sometimes, for whatever reason, the wills are not captured by the sound and edge map, but by those directly installed in PCIі PCI-E discord. There are no problems with these connections; all you need to do is insert the card into its slot. Otherwise, there is a need to completely disassemble the computer and independently replace the motherboard with an upgrade, or replace the one that burned out with a similar new one. There is nothing special about it, but it does have its own nuances. To operate the motherboard and install devices on it, it is necessary to connect a lifer to it. For motherboards that were released before 2001-2002, food on motherboards was served for an additional rose 20 pin.
Rose of life 20-pin socket
This type of connector has a special clip on the body to turn off the temporary tension of the connector, for example, in case of shaking, when transported. Look at the little one from below.
With the introduction of Pentium 4 processors, another 4-pin 12-volt socket was added, which is connected directly to the motherboard. These are called roses 20+4 pin. Around 2005, life blocks and motherboards began to appear in sales. 24+4 pin. This outlet has 4 more contacts (do not confuse the 4 pin 12 volts). The stench may come from a fire socket and so on. 20 pin recreated on 24 pin, so let’s connect with a 4 pin connector.
This is made for the convenience of using old motherboards. Once the computer turns on, it’s not enough to pay food for the motherboard. In older computers, which had AT format motherboards, the computer turned on after power was supplied to the power supply unit, when the lock button was pressed. For life blocks in ATX format, to turn them on, the connections to the life block must be closed PS-ONі COM. Before speaking, in this way you can check the life block in the ATX format by closing it with a dart or an open paper clip.
Upgrading to the life block
In this case, the life block may become cold, the cooler will turn around and voltage will appear on the connectors. When we press the power button on the front panel of the system unit, we send a kind of signal to the motherboard that the computer needs to be turned on. Also, if we press the computer button while the computer is running and press it for about 4-5 seconds, the computer will turn off. If this is not the case, the robot program may malfunction.
Connect the Power switch
Computer power button ( Power) that discount button ( Reset) connect to the computer's motherboard using additional connectors Power switchі Reset switch. The stinks look like double-contact black plastic roses, with two darts of white (or black) and colored. With similar connectors, a life indicator on a green LED is connected to the motherboard, signed to the connector as Power Led and a hard drive operation indicator on the red LED of the HDD Led.
Rose'em Power Led Often there are divisions into two roses with one pin each. This is done through the fact that on some motherboards there are connectors with connectors, just like HDD Led, and on other boards they are separated in place under the pin.
The little one shows the connection of the roses Front panel or on the front panel of the system unit. Let's take a look at the connection report Front panel. Bottom row, left-handed, with ink (plastic) there are sockets for connecting the hard drive LED (HDD Led), then there is a socket SMI, lights up in black, then the connector for connecting the power button, lights up in light green (Power Switch), then the reset button shows up in blue (Reset Switch). Top row, beginning to be angry, life LED, dark green (Power Led), Keylock brown, and orange speaker (Speaker). When connecting the Power Led, HDD Led and Speaker connectors, the polarity must be adjusted.
Also, the cob has a lot of nutrition when connected to the front panel USB sockets. The connector strip located on the back of the computer and the internal card reader are connected in the same way.
As you can see from two of the smaller card readers and strips, they are connected to an additional 8-pin male connector.
If you connect USB connectors to the front panel of the inode, it becomes more difficult because there are connections to the pin connector.
Connection USB to motherboard - diagram
They are marked with markings similar to those previously found on the front panel connection sockets. Apparently, there are 4 contacts in the USB connector: life +5 volts, ground and two data contacts D- and D+. The connector to the motherboard has 8 contacts and 2 USB ports.
Since the connector still consists of different pins, the color of the wires that are connected can be seen on a smaller scale. In addition to the up, down, indicator and USB connector buttons, microphone and headphone sockets are displayed on the front panel. These sockets are also connected to the motherboard with straight pins.
The connections of the sockets are organized in such a way that when headphones are connected, the speakers connected to the socket are turned on Line-Out at the back of the motherboard. The connector to which the sockets on the front panel are connected is called FP_Audio, or Front Panel Audio. You can add this rose to your little one:
The unpinning or loosening of the contacts on the rose can be seen on the step-by-step:
fp audio connection
There is one caveat here, as you have purchased a case with sockets for a microphone and headphones, and then wanted to exchange it for a case without such sockets. Please do not connect the sockets fp_audio for mother's payment. In this case, when connecting speakers to the jack Line-Out There is nothing to be heard from the motherboard. In order for the sound card to be installed, you need to install two jumpers (jumpers) on 2 pairs of contacts, as in the little one:
Such jumpers - jumpers are used for installation on motherboards, video cards, sound cards and other devices for setting operating modes.
The wiring in the middle is very simple: it has two sockets that are connected to each other. Therefore, if we need a jumper on two terminal pins - contacts, we short them to each other.
Also on motherboards there are LPT and COM ports. For this type of connection, a strip with an output socket is installed on the rear wall of the system unit.
When installed, be careful not to connect the socket incorrectly, however. Motherboards also have connectors for connecting coolers. There are a lot of them, depending on the motherboard model there are equal two, for cheap motherboard models, up to three for expensive ones. The processor cooler and the cooler are connected to these sockets, located on the rear of the case. You can connect a cooler to the third connector, which is installed on the front side of the system unit for blowing, or a cooler is installed on the radiator of the chipset.
All these connections are interchangeable, since they come mainly from trypin, which leads to the connection between the connectors of the processor coolers.
The instructions are useful if you need to get a new computer. Or if you took out the old one, carried out diagnostics and cleaned it, and now you need to reconnect all the components, parts and connections.
External appearance of the front panel
If we talk about a stationary computer, then the current appearance is something like this.
It looks like this on the laptop.
There's a little bit of a different story here. The life button is located on the front panel. Connectors for connecting all devices and wires are on the side panels. Let's talk about them later.
What is the main point here? On the back of the front panel of the computer there are connectors for USB, indicators for the life unit and hard drive, as well as connectors for the power up and restart buttons. Let's see what the stink looks like on a stationary system unit.
For everything to work, we need to connect the skin plug to the power connector on the motherboard.
Can be connected to different front panels
First, let's figure out what leather from plugs represents:
- Power SW: computer power button plug.
- Power Led +/- : Life indicators
- HDD LED: visual indicator of hard drive activity
- : audio output plug
- USB: USB hub plug
- MIC: microphone
Now you need to find a block on the motherboard for connecting these plugs. It's called F-Panel. You can visually identify the following markings: LED, HD, PW, RES etc.
Now you need to connect the skin plug to the power socket. Vikorist markuvannya as a hint. So the “HD” interface is significant at the place where the hard drive indicator cable is connected. HD LED comes here.
If you are in doubt, try quickly accessing the documentation to your motherboard. There is a diagram for connecting the front panel cables.
When finished, perform a check - be sure to work through all the buttons, sensors and interfaces.
Connecting devices to connectors on the front and back panels of the PC
Once all the cables have been connected correctly, you can select the interfaces for connecting devices.
How to connect headphones to a computer? For which we have a 3.5-inch audio interface.
If you marvel at the evil one to the right, then in the picture you will see:
- USB interface
- Headphone jack
- Jack for connecting a microphone
- USB interface
High quality headphone socket. We connect the headset to an additional 3.5-inch plug.
After this, turn the sound around. If you have any problems, get help quickly.
The performance of the computer depends on the correct connection of the front panel socket. For example, if you do not connect the power button plug, you will not be able to start the PC.
During the hour of operation, ensure that all power cables are connected to the 220 line.
Visnovok
If you connect the front panel cables correctly, you should not experience any special problems. All motherboards have markings - you can always tell which plug goes to the interface. At the extreme end, everything is spelled out in the documentation. If you spent or threw it away, try to find a copy on the publisher's website.
There is little hope of implementing the process of folding a computer system using a power hand. This type of “additional option” is considered to be of great importance to most people. The fragments of the computer itself depend on the hardware configuration of its computing device. At the same time, the correct connection of the front panel to the motherboard is a very important moment in the folding process. The ingenuity of this operation depends on the practice of knowledge and precise actions. However, about all the reports with the following statistics.
Insertion: claws, plugs and plugs
After you have installed the central processor, positioned and secured the main element of its cooling - the cooler, inserted the RAM strips into special slots and equipped the “motherboard” with a hard drive (with a cover, installed important PC components), the moment comes when it is necessary to connect the front panel to motherboard However, for wealthy co-workers, the remaining operation sometimes becomes simply incoherent. Even more often than not, the system unit contains a bunch of stupid darts. In some cases, their “complexity” is striking in its variety and mystery of meaning. It is not long before the manufacturer of enclosures continues to adhere to internationally accepted standards, changing the marking of cables and their placement. However, everything can be easily accomplished if the user carefully reads the technical documentation for the appropriate device and strictly follows the installation instructions below.
Startup elements and indications
Now, first of all, you need to carry out a visual inspection of the main system part to ensure the accumulation of plug-type contacts. In other words, it is necessary to understand that the connection platform is de-installed, and after which the computer is started. Even the majority of “motherboards”, near the main node of launch/removal and re-engineering, may have their own configuration arsenal and low accessory sockets, which will also be discussed within the framework of this article.
- For connecting the front panel to the Asus motherboard (the brand is known as the butt), find the plug holder, which is known as the Front panel.
- Focus on the color marking of the contact mounts and their designations.
- The two-wire "Power SW" must enter at the same socket as other control cables: "Reset SW", "HDD LED" and "Power LED". Before speaking, when the remaining group of contacts is connected, it is necessary to maintain the polarity (on the board there are “+” and “-” signs).
- The sound sensor "Speaker" is also closely related to the above-described principle.
Important input
If for some reason the polarity is confused or the positioning of the elements of the keruvanny is incorrect, the computer may not start at all, or there will be a light indication of the operating condition.
Therefore, be very careful about the connections between the front panel and the motherboard. It’s not a good idea to boast arrogantly because things have gone wrong. You will be able to correct the connection problem in the future by moving the incorrectly connected pins to a position that indicates the operating circuit.
Additional interfaces
Current system units, in addition to the Power and Reset buttons placed on the front of the case, are often equipped with additional Audio and USB ports. Some devices may have a card reader (a device for reading/writing memory cards) and an IEEE 1394 connector, which can be used to connect various peripheral devices. In any case, to improve the comfort of working on a PC, additional interfaces must be activated. First of all, they need to be physically connected to the system board and whenever necessary, make changes to the parameters of the BIOS microprograms. However, let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Front panel USB connections
Before the motherboard (if you buy it directly in the store), you will always receive a technical passport, which indicates the place of origin of the rosette and its purpose. At the same time, the user can now find a graphical diagram of the connection diagram of the required device in the documentation.
- Find a pin connector with USB markings on the system board. For everything, you will know their kilka. Before speaking, in functional modifications of computers there may be up to 10 such ports.
- Connect the connector from the front panel to the nine-pin socket.
- Make sure that the places where the plastic parts are connected fit together tightly.
In this case, if the USB connector that is connected to the board does not have a complete structure, for example, there may be disturbances at the end of the terminal, please follow the instructions below.
There seems to be a twisted situation: USB “unpinned”
As a rule, on the skin with a few spots there is a sign of its own in the appearance of writing:
- "VCC" is the wire that supplies +5 Volts.
- "Data -" or "D -" - data with a negative value.
- Data + or shorter D + - the length of the previous point.
- "GND" - ground (masa).
If you connect the front panel connectors to the motherboard, there is a risk of memory failure, which means that if the connection is incorrectly connected, there is a risk that any system component will go out of order. As you understand, hasty and thoughtless actions can cost you dearly. Therefore, connect the skin wire to a strict location on the mother's rose.
- "VCC" - first.
- Then, "Data -".
- The third pin is “Data +”.
- The rest is "GND".
Before speaking, after the “ground” is removed from the unoccupied pin on the first port, the lower row of connectors is connected according to the instructions described above. However, there won’t be any “addictive” erasing after Masya. Look, everything is simple!
Wait a minute, if on the front side of the PC case there is an input jack for a microphone and an Audio output for headphones. However, regardless of the simplicity of immediately connecting an additional audio panel to the motherboard of your PC, users still often encounter an unfathomable effect - they are not installed properly or do not function at all. In order to avoid such an unacceptable situation and consider the relevant reasons for the “digital migration”, follow the following:
- Make sure that the front audio panel matches the “sound” standard of the system board and is connected to the “F-AUDIO” connector.
For example, if your motherboard supports HD Audio, then, above all, the activation mode is disabled, which means that the current AC97 module is not valid. Since the mind can be corrected by reconfiguring certain software components, then in view of the above-described situation in the current context, it will be necessary to completely replace the existing audio module. On the right is that the “HD Audio” standard uses other codecs, including “AC’97”, and is incompatible with the rest through various technical aspects.
How do I activate the front panel connections to the BIOS?
All you need to do is go into the BIOS firmware and find the appropriate section for setting up audio devices. As a rule, you can make the necessary changes by clicking on the Advanced tab, and by going to the Front panel select parameter change checkbox, enter the required values. Please note that the specific metering equipment manufacturer equips its devices with the original version of the basic system. Therefore, the names of the items in the BSVV control interface may be different.
Change the sound dispatcher's settings
Sometimes it goes like this: regardless of the correct (physical) connection of the front panel to the Gigabyte motherboard, it is not connected to the front connectors of the audio device.
Sound "chain" is allowed in the following order:
- Go to “Realtek HD Manager” and activate the option “Unplug the assigned front panel sockets”.
- It is possible that in the main adjustments of the “Plug-in parameters” it is necessary to select the “item” that corresponds to the sound standard of the current audio module.
At the end
Since you, dear reader, have a diagram for connecting the front panel to the motherboard (and it doesn’t matter if you look at the technical documentation of your device), then a positive result is guaranteed. Remember that improperly plugging roses can cause serious damage to your computer. On this basis - rational decisions and lasting achievements for you!
The life block is necessary to supply electrical power to the motherboard and components. There are 5 cables for connection, each with a different number of contacts. The alarms come out one way at a time, so they must be connected to the correct outlets.
A standard life block has less than 5 wires with different characteristics. Report on skin:
- The 20/24-pin wire is necessary for the life of the motherboard itself. It can be distinguished by its characteristic size - it is the largest module of all that goes into the power supply;
- The 4/8 pin module is used for connection to the adjacent cooler with the processor;
- 6/8-pin module for video card life;
- The wire for the life of SATA hard drives is the thinnest of all, as a rule, it is less susceptible to damage than other cables;
- Additional cable for compliance with the Molex standard. Necessary for connecting old hard drives;
- Let's plug it in to revive the drive. Models of living units do not have such a cable.
For normal operation of the computer, it is necessary to connect at least the first three cables.
If you have not yet added a life block, you need to switch to the one that best suits your system. For this purpose, equalize the tension of the life-giving and energy-generating unit with your computer (in front of the processor and video card). You will still have a chance to find a living block to suit the form factor of your soul.
Stage 1: installation of the living block
First you just need to attach the life block to the inside surface of the computer case. For this purpose special screws are used. Pokrokov's instructions look like this:
Stage 2: Connection
Once you have installed the fasteners, you can begin by connecting the wires to the main components of the computer. The worminess of the connection looks like this:
Connecting the life block is not difficult, but this process requires accuracy and patience. Do not forget that the life block must be selected in advance, adjusted to the motherboard, to ensure maximum productivity.
If you wanted to get or get a computer, then this article will be even more relevant for you. She has information on how to properly connect the panel of front buttons and USB ports on the system unit to the motherboard. Here, I will look not only at the ugly appearance of the ports, which ones need to be connected, but also at the correct behavior when they are connected.
In truth, there is nothing fancy about him. But in my practice, it’s fair to say that when it comes to computer technology, you have to stand in front of the system unit with a bunch of cables and think about what and where you need to connect.
Therefore, later I will show you in detail which socket needs to be connected, including the other wire for the correct operation of the connected front panel of the system unit. In the future, when you clean the computer or perhaps replace the motherboard, you will not be able to properly connect all the elements of the system unit to the motherboard.
It’s even more important if you don’t have a front panel with USB ports and headphone and microphone outputs. Then be sure to read it to the end in order to find out how to straighten everything on the right and turn the workbench to our front USB ports. The problem may lie in the fact that it is simply not physically connected to the motherboard.
Connections to the front panel, button block and indicators
The block of buttons and light bulbs is connected to the motherboard behind four additional connectors, which are connected into one single cable. How stinky you see me and you can marvel at me. This is approximately what your guilty mother’s stench looks like. Damn, you’re wondering if these connectors have similar phrases written on them: Power SW, Power LED, HDD LED. RESTART SW.
Let's look at the leather connector:
- POWER SW(PWRBTN) - represents the computer's power button;
- H.D.D.LED(+ HDLED) - the hard drive light, which blinks steadily during the computer’s operation;
- POWER LED -і + (PLED) - an indicator that indicates the state of the computer ( either suppressed or suppressed);
- RESTART SW(RESET) - a connector that serves as a reset button;
- - the speaker tweeter is still present in the cable panel;
Where do you need to connect? All connectors are connected to one port, which is located at the bottom right corner of the motherboard. Virologists call them to sign with the following notations: F_PANEL" or just " PANEL" On the skin of the motherboard of such a panel there are small signatures where you need to insert them. Anyway, below I’ll give you a bunch of butts to get to.
Also, when an additional small speaker is connected, it notifies you with a beep when the computer is turned on, as well as when the BIOS is updated and the computer is installed. Some of the inputs are connected to other connectors, and as a rule, a separate connector is attached to each one.
That's it, we're done with the block of buttons, now you can move on to the front USB and audio outputs.
Connecting the front panel to the system unit
The audio and USB connectors are very similar to those we connected for the buttons and indicators. But the biggest advantage is that they are already combined into one, and you don’t need to connect one pin at a time when connecting.
You can find the place for connection in the lower part of the motherboard with signatures (F_USB1, 2). There may be two or more of them on the motherboard, but it doesn’t matter which connection you make, but the stink will still occur. The main thing you need to do is to take a connector with a signature. F_USB» And place it near the main outlet. You won’t be able to have mercy, because if you try to put it on the wrong side, you simply won’t succeed and turn it the other way, I think that everything falls into place.
It is important to show respect that you have it on the front panel of your computer USB 3.0, then you will need to connect it to a power outlet. You can check with the book about the use of your motherboard. Also, I want to point out that if USB 3.0 is connected to a standard socket it will work, but the transfer speed will be the same as with USB 2.0.
Connecting the front panel sound to the motherboard
In terms of sound, the situation is similar to USB. Here, too, the connectors are combined into one, which makes it easy to connect them to the motherboard without any hassles. The connector itself is usually located next to the USB ports and is designated by such abbreviations; AAFP, AUDIO, A_AUDIO.
Take the connector that says “ HD Audio" or " AC 97"Plugs into a socket with one of the signatures that I have indicated above. If after connecting the headphones and microphone still do not respond, then in the BIOS you can check the settings of the front audio panel. Sometimes it happens that the “AC97” driver is installed in the system, and “HD Audio” is set in the BIOS, which leads to our audio outputs being unusable.
Connecting additional fans
I think that I would like to provide you with information about how and where you can connect additional fans. Please note that coolers that can be mounted on the rear wall of the case or stand in the lower part. The procedure is the same as before, take the connector and plug it into the socket. The truth about the growing of roses is growing in the face of decisions. Most motherboards have veins located here approximately in the middle and have this appearance.
Just like in other cases, the skin connection point has its own signature (SYS_FAN, CHA_FAN). I would also like to point out that there is a small wall on the connector itself, which serves as a hint for proper connection. The connector itself is guilty of sitting down easily, since it’s not so with you, because for everything you’re trying to accept him on the wrong side. I don’t recommend pushing him in there by force, because you’ll just break him off.
Well, as if everything, additional elements, housings that would need to be connected, I guessed. If you forget, you will remember in the comments and I will add this information to this article to complete the picture.
Connecting the front panel of the computer to the motherboard
