look on #11

i think you were talking about numb 12 which is the usb front panel

You're welcome. The plus signs indicate the positive pins -- align those with the plug ends marked with arrows.

^^ what is the ++ for? also are you sure that is the right diagram? cause mine has 12 pin and that is 10 pin for the dell vostro 230 also where did u get this information

I hadn't bothered to look and assumed the header was the same as it is on my XPS 7100. You might want to double check that the leads go to the places I said they would.

I had fun (not) installing an Asus mainboard into the XPS 7100 case, as the Asus has some non-standard pin assignments. I had to buy an ATX power switch from Fry's from which to cannibalize a two-pin connector.
