Ouch Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 The pin-outs are in the G5 service manual. See my last post here. http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?sh...8599&hl=pinouts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac OSX Coder Posted April 3, 2006 Author Share Posted April 3, 2006 Thanks, but how do I connect them? DO I connect them to the 3 pins, Power-LED, or 2 pins, ATX Switch? And which pins do I use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouch Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 You connect pin 13 to your power led V+ and pin 2 to the ground pin. Pin 14 is for the power button, you would connect that to the power buttons V++ pin on your motherboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac OSX Coder Posted April 4, 2006 Author Share Posted April 4, 2006 I can't seem to hook them up correctly.... This is the layout of my mobo: Thanks for all the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac OSX Coder Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 please helP! this is the only thing I need to put my computer together and try to boot OSX86! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabr Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 please helP! this is the only thing I need to put my computer together and try to boot OSX86! I would help you, but I cant seem to access the Pinouts PDF file that Ouch!p0tat0 linked to in the other thread... EDIT: Downloading it now... Very slow... I'll help as soon as I can. I know how annoying it is to not be able to hook up these pins. When I built my first PC, I had everything I needed. Put it all together, but I had never read anywhere about these little cables and where to pin them in. Thankfully, I figured it out after a while. EDIT 2: Hope this helps: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac OSX Coder Posted April 8, 2006 Author Share Posted April 8, 2006 alright gang, I got it working! Just to clarify, it works like a regular pc switch right? and the little led dot is supose to light up? [update] Fixed some typos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[update] Fixed some typos. Should (usually) be two LEDs: Green = Power, Red = HDD Activity... Could be different colours though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin chou Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 What connectors/pin adapters do you use for the Front Panel. I have a G5 case and I lost the connector cable. I am hoping to buy some pin connectors but I dont know which will fit. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
