X-Fi to Front Panel Connector Guide in 7/06 Maximum

"Do It Yourself Guide" cover story, page 39. Guide seems simple (and inexpensi've) enough.
Any problems running this card with an MSI K8N Diamond Plus, nforce SLI (not running dual cards)?

I wish it was out now. I looked at Max pc site (yesterday) and as far as I can see they
just have reference to next mo issue being a "do it yourself" issue. I just got some cables from frontx and somehow I'm going to be hooking up my Sunbeam 20in panel in the next few days. I'll be going off the 0 pin guide for the Audigy board they say works for the X-fi too. Only having this soundcard for about a week now the thing I don't like about it is the lack of in's and out's and the fact the mixer only lets you choose source at a time, great sound quality though. I have my AIW running into the AUX already to free up the flexjack, and I suppose I'll use the flex for mic and hopefully the 0 pin can be my line in/headphone to the front.

Front panel connectors for Envy H8-1511eo

Hello.
I am going to be moving over the components in my current HP PC to a new case for more room, more airflow and better cable management.
The case that I'm moving my system to is the NZXT H440.
I need to know the correct placement for all the front panel connectors to the motherboard from the case.
The motherboard is a IPMMB-FM (Formosa) manufactured by Pegatron.
Thanks in advance.

 
Happy New Year !

Your Specific ZZXT H440 case has both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 connectors on the Front Panel.
There are internal headers on the Formosa motherboard to support that functionality.
 
IF you have spare (unused) internal connectors (USB 2.0) , there are third-party brackets to bring that functionality to the rear panel through usage of an expansion slot bracket.
 
I sometimes use those extra USB 2.0 headers/connectors with an appropriate cable for an internal USB stick/dongle (e.g. San Disk Cruzer Fit, 16 GB),
 
So that I may have ready access to key OS or hardware drivers for the computer.
It ends the "searching around' for a CD/DVD or when Internet connectivity (for those files) may be lost.

P67A-GD53 (B3) Missing Front Panel Connectors

I've received a brand new P67A-GD53 (B3) board this morning and it appears to have no front panel connectors for power switch, LEDs, speaker etc.
In place of the connectors there are two black components wired into the position where the front panel pins ought to be, according to the manual.
The manual shows the correct connectors JFP1 and JFP2 and the box contained the usiual MSI 'M-Connectors' which are designed to fit on the front panel connector pins, but my board just has these odd components instead. The only way I can switch the PC on or reset it is by using the green buttons on the main board itself.
Have I got myself a non-standard version of the board? It was purchased from a trade distributor in the UK.
Geoff

I got a few complaints on this subject and my first thought was pirated mainboards.
Not this case.

Front Panel Connectors with new Motherboard

Hello Lenovo Community, i have just purchased a new mother board(msi h55 e23) and have just installed it into my Lenovo 3000 h210. The only problem with it is the front panel connectors. I don't understand how they're supposed to work. I have a JFP1 and JFP2, yet i'm not sure where the front panel connectors go because im pretty sure they aren't your standard front panel connectors. Is there anyway to get by this without me having to purchase a new case?

Front Panel Connector MS-4011

Hello all. I have acquired this front panel connector that was apparently manufactured by MSI at some point but I cannot find any documentation on it at all. I have managed to hook it up and it IS working. Although I've noticed that it will not read my SDHC cards. This is a problem. Therefore I was wondering if anybody knows anything about this device, perhaps there was an update for its drivers that provided HC compatibility. I don't know. Its nowhere to be found on MSI's support site. My friend's cheapo Targus card reader reads HC cards, surely there is something I can do to get this thing to read them. Thanks for the help!

Quote from: KHANV1CT on 15-April-09, 13:00:35
Any idea where I can find documentation for the product?
There probably isn't, because this was probably never released as a retail product. Searching through Google suggests this may have been a product made for Medion PCs. If it is old, it was probably released long before SDHC became available, so it will never support them.

Card readers don't need drivers, they work with the default drivers included with Windows.

880GM-P51 Front Panel Connector

I am just setting up my motherboard. The system is not complete or running yet. I am concerned about Front Panel Audio connector: JAUD1. This is found on page En-17 in my User Guide, or page 2-15 in the on-line PDF Guide. In the diagram pins 1 and 3 show to be for MIC R and MIC L. My connector for this says MIC IN and MIC VCC. Is it possible that the diagram has a typo? It does not seem correct that a mike would have a right and left. It does seem possible that a mike IN pin and a VCC (power) pin would be correct. If I am right about this which pin would be for VCC (power) and which pin would be for IN? If I am wrong are there any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mox

Yes you are correct. I am recycling a Pentium 4 class no name case. I was not aware of a change in the audio system on the case. All of the other connectors have matched up except this one.

Front Panel connector for JAUD1 on K9A2 Platinum mobo

I bought some headphones for my computer and they work well when plugged into the line out and mic on the back. It's a pain unplugging my speakers in the back and plugging in the headphones, then switching back when I want my speakers again.
I noticed there is an internal JAUD1 connector which suggests that I can attach a front panel audio device to it. Where can I get such a device and what is it called ( I can look on New Egg if I know what to look for ) ? Does MSI sell one ? Does it attach in front into one of my drive bays ( I have lots of them in a Lian Li case ) ? If I have the device attached and plug my headphones into it, can I listen to audio through my headphones without having to unplug my speakers ?

Quote from: eldiener on 06-January-11, 01:23:43
My case is about 10 years old I believe. It is a Lian Li PC-70USB Full Tower ATX Case and it still is excellent. But it did not come with a front panel audio connector. Is it possible to buy one anywhere which can fit into a drive bay and which connects to the JAUD1 on the K9A2 ? I will search New Egg for "front panel audio connector", and I will ask Lian Li if perhaps they have one for older cases.
You can buy a new soundcard that comes with some front panel bay too ,though is much more expensive than a simple new case.
If you managed 10 years without a front jack why would you want it now ?!
Buy some USB headshones ,if there is a front USB connector ,maybe you get even better sound quality.
The sound on the Platnium is not so great anyway ,i ve turned it off in the first 2 months of usage to use either X-FI either D1 which are much better sound wise.

Z87-G43 : JAUD1 front panel connector problem

Hi everyone,
I received this mb two days ago, everything was working fine until i decided to plug my headphones in the front panel jack of my Zalman Z12 plus...
There is like an "underwater" effect that makes the sound pretty bad. The rear jacks work flawlessly.
Any clues ? Any feedbacks ?
I've tried to :
- reinstall the latest realtek driver : still
- use another headset : still
Maybe the mb is faulty, maybe the case is...
Thanks.

Hello,
Thanks for the feedback. I found the culprit : broken front panel audio connectors on my Zalman Z12 Plus.
What case do you have ?
Glad to hear that you figured it out.

Sound Blaster Z - how set autodetect connected headphones (into front panel connector)

Hello,
how can I set autodetect connected headphones into front panel on my new Sound Blaster Z?
I have used to use my onboard soundcard (only to my headphones) together with AMD R290X soundcard (via HDMI to Onkyo receiver).
Onboard soundcard was set as default audio device in Windows. So If I connected my headphones into front pannel connector, play only my headphones. If I disconnect headphones, onboard soundcard was disabled and soundcard on R290X was now only active audio device, so music playing only from my speaker (receiver Onky via HDMI on AMD R290X).
Now if I connect my headphones, I have to manualy switch audio device unit in Windows control panel between "SoundBlasterZ" and "R290X HDMI".
It is very annoying. Is there any way to figure it out?
Sorry for my bad english, I hope you understand my problem.
Thank you!

Hi prachart,
You will need to set Sound Blaster Z as the default playback audio device in the window control panel -> sound -> playback. Make sure you connect the physical connector from the front panel to the Sound Blaster Z card. This will let you plug into the headphone and able to playback. However, the AMD R290X HDMI port will not be able to have any sound as the default playback device set to Sound Blaster Z and it will not automatically release control and toggle to the available plug-in device.
You will need to go to control panel to toggle again if you want to have the sound from the HDMI port.
I am sorry if the above are not much help but this is the design implementation of the sound card so that there is no compromise in the sound quality.

K7N2GM-V Front Panel Connectors JFP1/JFP2

Hiya
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but this is my first build and first post to this forum!
I cannot figure out which cable (wire) connects to which pin at JFP1. I need to know which way the pins needs to be connected.
ie HDD Led (pin1/pin3), which color goes where? (pin1: white / pin3: red) etc
The colors I have from the case is as follows:
Power Led: white/green
Power Switch: white/orange
Reset Switch: white/blue
HDD Led: white/red
Speaker: red/black
The CPU is positioned correctly, the 4pin power attached. Monitor connected to onboard video. When I turn on the power, the monitor does not respond, the CPU fan works fine. The front LEDs (greeen and red) is on and steady, no activity.
Hope someone can help me out...
Thanks in advance.

"...12V@15A..." This could be the reason. Try a better P.S. with 18A. or more to 12v. rail. Also 20A. to 3.3v. rail is poor. What CPU is installed ?
Well, I went for overkill and got a Antec 500w PSU
+3.3V@32A, +5V@35A, +12V1@17A, +12V2@19A, [email protected], +5VSB@2A
But my issues are still the same, the PC starts up, CD-ROM works, CPU Fan works, but no joy with the Monitor. Tried both onboard Video and a working Video card.
Any further suggestions or comments will be greatly appreciated!

Front Panel Connectors

Allright, I may be missing something completely obvious here, but I've got the Power Switch, the Reset Switch, Power LED, HDD LED, and 2 single +P and -P...
The red/black power switch is the only different connecting end, won't fit the way the maunual describes it, and the cord is only long enough to put it in one place...
It's been a few years since I've put a box together and I think I'm hitting a wall of stupidity here...
Help?

As far as the wires go, there's a double pin (fem) Power LED, and the 2 single pin p+ and p-... the only other thing concerning power is the red/black power supply wire.
The case is the Aspire X-Dreamer II. Now I get a solid green LED on the front (labeled with a lightbulb, not sure what that's supposed to represent... not the power or reset or HDD. Nothing else though. I've re-set the processor, RAM, tried a single stick, still getting nothing except the solid green LED.
???

Front Panel Connectors in K8T Neo

i cant get the power led to work i connected it to the jfp2 where the manual says to do so but notting happens
On the jfp1 it has another power led connector but its a 2 pin connector and my power led has 3 pins any thoughts?

leds are sensitive to polarity try flipping conector.
if you have three pins the 1st pin is gound, 2 is a key or it is sleep led (i think) 3rd is power led.
