Connect The PN1 And PN2 Indicators

The PN1 and PN2 headers are located on the ABIT KR7A-133 motherboard as shown circled in blue.

There are five cables as shown here to be connected into specific positions of the PN1 and PN2 headers. The motherboard manual should be consulted for detailed diagrams. The nasty thing about these cables is that they are not keyed so they can be plugged in the wrong way around. The ABIT KR7A-133 motherboard manual is not at all clear on which way around the cables are to be connected. I determined that the cables should be connected with the lettering on the cable facing outward toward the computer case.

Here are the five cables connected into the PN1 and PN2 headers.
