9020 USFF and SFF external power button

I’ve built a few arcades with both 9020 USFF and SFF, I have an external power button but have no idea where to wire it in. Any help is appreciated.

    @redxps630​ Would I connect a button to just pin 1?

    Try connect pw+ to pin 1, pw- to pin 2.
    Let us know if that works. 
    you may get some start up error if the other pins are not connected to anything 


    PS I do not have a 9020 USFF to verify user uploaded pinout.

    Motherboard 14-1 pin. Pin 10 is blank.

    Pin 1-2 are the two lowest pin on your motherboard front panel header pic.

    I got the external power button to work on the SFF, now I get the power switch error message. Which pins do I need to use a jumper on?
