XPS 8930 power cables -source and final insert location
Hello
Unable to locate a diagram of how the cables are connected to the motherboard however I was able to connect the obvious but I have a few that I do not know where to connect to. If I had a clearly defined illustration showing exactly what cable and where it connected/inserted into that would help. Attached is a few photos showing at least two that need to be properly pushed into its respective connector.
A diagram/ illustration page would be useful.
Thanks

The single row 6 pin white connector (pin 5 blank) seems to be for media card reader header on mobo diagram #10.

The black connector has a blank pin 8 which means it is the HD audio connector. Default color of this connector should be yellow to match yellow mobo audio header color but some oem front panel chose black color for audio connector, which is confusing b/c black is usually for either usb 2.0 or front panel.
PS a usb 2.0 cable has blank pin 9
a front panel connector has blank pin 10.
