(Note: On some ECS revisions, Pins 9 and 10 may be absent or arranged differently for speaker output, but the core switch/LED block (Pins 1-8) remains standard.)

The pinout may vary depending on the specific revision of the motherboard. Make sure to consult your motherboard manual or online documentation for the most accurate information.

The front panel header ( F_PANEL ) uses a standard 9-pin layout (10 pins total with one missing for orientation) typically located at the bottom-right edge of the motherboard. For a successful boot and case functionality, you must connect the individual tiny cables from your case (Power SW, Reset SW, HDD LED, and Power LED) to these specific pins.
