Build Comments¶
Connecting the case front panel wiring to a motherboard may seem like a puzzle. For the reference motherboard and case, the front panel wiring consists of:
green-white -- power LED
orange-white -- HD LED
blue-white -- power button
red-white -- reset button
yellow-black -- speaker
The twisted wire pairs should be looped through the RF filter ring (that sintered metal doughnut) before connecting them to the motherboard. The RF filter may be anchored to the case using the supplied zip-tie and holder. Use the following picture as a guide.
Static discharge precautions¶
- Perform hardware work in an uncarpeted room.
- Ground yourself to the computer case at all times. Either use a wrist strap or hold the bare case metal in one hand.
- Never touch electrical contact surfaces with your bare hands. “Contacts” are the gold areas on the edge of RAM sticks, for instance.
Note
Installing an Intel processor and cooling fan the first time may require expert assistance.
Connect Components¶
- Connect an Ethernet cable from your WAN router or gateway into eth0 (the right network port as viewed from the rear of the machine on ASUS P5BV-C).
- Plug an Ethernet cable from your LAN data switch into eth1 (the left network port as viewed from the rear of the machine on ASUS P5BV-C).
