9-pin front panel header - P5N-E SLI - Urgh.....

[ronok]

Ok so, I was asked to upgrade someones PC and I failed to realise they had a 9 pin front panel header... Is there anyway to get around this?

Is there any way I can get the pc to boot without using the front panel just so I can test it for now?

Are you saying the case connectors dont fit on the front panel pins?

You can start the system by shorting the 2 PWR pins with a flat end screwdriver

Basically, the motherboard comes with 20 pins for the front panel. My chasis has a single 9 pin header which is obviously meant for a motherboard with 9 pins. Because of this the 9 pins header doesn't match up properly.

9 pin header sounds like front usb ports to me.
