Updated | Foxconn N15235 Motherboard Front Panel Connectors
The image below displays the comprehensive pinout diagram for the FP1 header. This diagram serves as your primary reference for connecting the various cables from your computer case.
On almost all Foxconn boards, the front panel header is labeled , FP1 , or PANEL1 . It is usually located on the bottom-right corner of the motherboard.
The Reset Switch reboots the system instantly without cutting main power. Locate the 2-pin cable labeled or RST SW .
The following pinout is standard for Foxconn boards like the G31MXP and G41MX series: Pin Number Positive (+) Power LED + Positive (+) Negative (-) Power LED - Negative (-) Reset Switch Power Switch Positive (+) Reset Switch Power Switch No Connection (NC) Empty (Key) Connection Steps Locate the Header : Look for a block of pins labeled Front Panel near the bottom right edge of the motherboard.

| Pins | Connector | Polarity | Notes | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | HDD-LED (Hard Drive Activity LED) | Yes (+/-) | Connects to the case's HDD activity light. Polarity matters; reversed means no light. | | Pin 2 & 4 | PWR-LED (Power LED) | Yes (+/-) | Connects to the power indicator light. Polarity matters. | | Pin 5 & 7 | RESET-SW (Reset Switch) | No | Connects to the reset button. No polarity, either orientation works. | | Pin 6 & 8 | PWR-SW (Power Switch) | No | Connects to the power button. No polarity, either orientation works. | | Pin 9 | NC (No Connection) | N/A | This pin is usually empty/missing. | | Pin 10 | Empty | N/A | No pin present, acts as a key for orientation. |
Glows solid when the computer is powered on; blinks or changes state when the PC enters sleep mode. Polarity: Orientation MATTERS. Connect the Positive (+) wire to Pin 1 . Connect the Negative (-) wire to Pin 3 . The image below displays the comprehensive pinout diagram
Using the pinout diagram as your map, connect each cable to its corresponding pins on the FP1 header. Here is the wiring list for the four main connectors:
The N15235 was built for OEM systems, so physical header layout can vary slightly by revision. When in doubt, trace the chassis front panel wires (color codes: red/white = LEDs, black = ground, blue/white = power switch) and match function, not just position.
Ensure the physical rocker switch on the back of your Power Supply Unit (PSU) is flipped to the I (On) position, and the 24-pin ATX power cable is firmly seated on the motherboard. 2. The PC Boots, But Case Lights Do Not Work It is usually located on the bottom-right corner
While switches usually work either way, ensure they are securely on the correct pins (6 & 8).

If you have a specific variant of the Foxconn N15235, double-check your manual, as pinouts can sometimes vary. For further help, the Foxconn support website ( http://www.foxconnsupport.com ) is a great resource for manuals and drivers.
The N15235 also features headers for USB and Audio. Do not mix up the Power/Reset pins with the Audio headers (typically located on the bottom-left of the board), as trying to plug front panel I/O into the wrong cluster can cause the PC to refuse to boot.
