pealse help with asus cusl2 MB

I have installed a Asus cusl2 mother board into a Gateway G6 computer. Everything seems to be connected properly except the panel connector. This connector seems to have a different pinout from the mother board that came with the Gateway machine. Does any body know how to make this work?

AT style or ATX style power plug on the mobo??
does it have 2 seperate plugs or does it have a shape coded single plug? the older AT style has 2 seperate plugs with like 5 or 6 pins on them that plug onto the mobo.. the ATX has a single connector and it's got different shapes at the pinholes so you can't plug it in wrong. If you've got an AT case:
you may be able to get around this by buying a new PSU and riggin an ATX power button and all of that other stuff, however you should probably just buy a new case, they're cheap. You can't just get a new PSU, the AT style power supplies also use a different way of powering on.. so the power button would have to be changed too

*IF* this is what you are talking about, u didn't make it terribly clear.
 
The case has two LED's and a power button, the power on LED has three wires (black orange and green) the LED that flashes when the HD spins has two wires (red and black) the power button itself has two wires (blue and red) these all lead to a 16 pin connector that plugs into the MB. The new Asus MB has a 22 pin connector on the MB. I can tell that the pinout arrangement is different by the etching on the board, but can't quite discern what would be the proper pin arrangement.
 
Oh....the LED headers. That's the problem with Gateway cases....they have a single plug that contains all the LED headers, whereas most other cases have this single plug separated out into HDD LED, Power, Reset, etc.

You may need to buy a new case if trying to split that single header plug is too much of a hassle.
 
Thanks for the responses. I did get the MOBO to power up by pushing the pins out of the connector and reinseerting them into what I thought would be the correct pinout. The only problem with that was one LED stayed on all the time and the other never came on. I will probabaly just disconnect the LED's as long as the power button works. Next problem is the system freezes every time during setup of this MOBO at the install of the PCI to IDE bus driver.
ANY help on this one?
Thanks again!
Dave
 
not sure bout that freezing... but as for the LED's, consult the Asus manual, there is a pretty good layout picture that tells you how to plug in the leds... the HDD one on Asus boards is usually in a different pin array than the rest, as for the wires, the white/back will tend to be the grounds (- neg) white the colors are almost always positive (+) ... hope this helps...
