I managed to pick up a used USA Microsoft IBM motherboard, and I've run into a bit of a snag. It features a 34-pin header for the front panel—you know, the usual stuff like the drive activity LED, power status, the power button, reset switch, and all that jazz—but I am hitting a brick wall trying to find any technical documentation or even a basic manual regarding this specific CERN connector layout.

The board in question is the one shown here (the site won't let me upload the actual photo, unfortunately): http://www.ebay.com/itm/SCHEDA-MADRE...item3f3809ee60

So, if anyone out there happens to have a manual handy, or even just a simple pinout diagram for this CERN interface, I would be immensely grateful. 🙏
Best regards,

Look, if you don't mind, could you grab some photos of those connectors?

It kind of reminds me of those old-school front panel connectors you’d see on vintage Intel server boards, so you might be able to get away with wiring it that way, though I can't exactly promise it'll work perfectly.

Pin 1 and 5 for the power LED
Pin 7 and 9 for the HDD LED
Pin 11 and 13 for the power switch
Pin 15 and 17 for the reset switch

Fantastic, just what I needed. Thanks.
I haven't been able to track down that pinout diagram anywhere—it’s nowhere to be found. 👍 I'm going to go ahead and try to power it up right now; if the whole thing starts smoking, well, I guess that's just how it goes. 😵
