    Homemade 'Front Panel Unit' on ITX Aopen-i915Gmt

    I have a mini-itx Aopen-i915Gmt motherboard. To switch the computer on you are suppose to use a 'Front Panel Unit' which plugs into the motherboard. My problem is I don't have a 'Front Panel Unit' because it didn't come with the motherboard, I assume it comes with the case. But I haven't got a case because I decided to make my own. I am not going to buy a case and I don't think one can buy the 'Front Panel Unit' on its own.

    Question: This is the connector block diagram for the 'Front Panel Unit', which terminals should I connect a switch to to power up the computer?

    _____NC * * Power Switch
    _____NC * * GND
    ____+5v * * Power LED-
    HDD LED * * GND
    HDD LED * * Power LED+
    ____+5V * * NC
    ____+5V * * GND
    ____GND * * GND
    _____NC * * RESET
    SPEAKER * * GND

    I'm am not bothered about having the LEDs and speaker working, do I just put a switch across the top 2 terminals.

    Thanks for any help.

    Power + ground should do the trick. Also note that you should attach a push button rather than a switch (momentary connection needed rather than continuous)
