HELP! Chieftec front panel! ARGH!

Hey there,

I have a Chieftec Dragon case and an Intel D865PERL board. For some reason when I connect the front panel plugs into the board, I can't get all the lights to work. Sometimes the Power LED doesnn't work...but now its the HD LED. I don't understand how I'm supposed to hook them up, because the Intel board manual says that the Power LED is two plugs, but mine is three. The board has a seperate 3-pin slot, so I hooked it in there. It works. But now the HD LED won't! Argh!!!

The board has the 9-pin setup with a blank 10th pin.

Thanks!!!!

Use the separate 3 pin for the power LED, and make sure you don't connect anything to the 2 pin power LED on the main block. LED's are polarity sensitive, if they don't work, flip them.
