I bought a bare board (GA-7DX) and I can't figure out where the wires plug for the power switch, reset switch, case speaker, etc....

I downloaded a manual from Gigabytes website but I guess it is for an older version board. It is nothing like my board (a Rev 2.2) as far as the pins on this header.

Can anyone help?

A couple of things to try. First, you could go to this support page and request the pinouts for the MB connectors. This might take a while but should yield some results.However, if you have the installation CD for the board you could also search that for a pdf version of the manual.
One thing that comes to mind is that almost all MB's have some sort of stenceling on the board itself around the conncetors that, although sometimes a bit cryptic, can give you a good idea of what each connector is for. Perhaps if you listed that, others could "translate" for you.

They dont have pinouts for mobo on their support page. I d/l ed their manual for this board but I gues it was an earlier version. It is nothing like my board (placement of header and # of pins is different).

Stenceling....the only words near that header is "Open/Case" near the bottom of the line of pins.

Any other ideas?

When I mentioned Pinouts, I was referring to going to that tech request page and asking them about it in that communication. I realize that they don't publisize those as a rule. Too bad the stenciling isn't more helpful. Go to that page I linked to and request the info. Then consider this another "bump" for your thread, in hopes that someone with that board can provide an assist. That's about the best I can offer.
