Newshound · 28-09-2005 08:55PM #1

Putting together a new computer and i have to connect the cables to the PWR and RST pins on the motherboard.
Problem is i cant find them on the board or in the manual.
Please help

Its a K8N SLI Platinum motherboard

Found them but i cant figure out which way the connectors go on it.

Always make the assumption that the coloured wire is the signal/positive, and the other one white/black is the ground. The reset RST doesn't matter which way around you put it as it's simply a short when the switch is pressed.

Pin 8 on the K8N is the ground for the power switch, Pin 6 is the signal.
It's all in the manual.

Thanks Kilo.
Couldnt find it in the manual.
Theres a diagram on a kind of poster that came with it, but its unclear from the diagram whether the connector goes accross or along the pins

eg

**X**
**X***

or

*****
*XX***

Have everything else in so i'll give these a bash again tomorrow night. Theres
drink to be had tonight so wont be messing with it tonight.

What page is it on on the manual?

Thanks again,
Minion

The connectors go on vertically, like in your first example.
