Well, that's a start. You know you have an Intel motherboard in your eMachines, that uses an Intel 845 motherboard chipset.

It is an Intel D845GVSR motherboard.

The eMachines W2888 uses an Intel D845GVSR motherboard.

This is the download page for the Intel D845GVSR motherboard manual, (Product Guide),

http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/d845gvsr/sb/cs-008823.htm

Left-click on the first file name in blue -
Intel Desktop Board D845GVSR - Product Guide (PDF)

This is a PDF file. The computer you are using has Adobe Reader on it, which uses PDF files.
After you click on the above file name it may take up to 30 seconds before the first page comes up.
It may also take additional time for the file to fully download.

[ Took 4 seconds to see the first page come up, just now. File was fully downloaded ]

At the top of the PDF file is the page number box. It is to the right of the blue Down Arrow.
This is the page number I will be referring to, and may not be the actual page number of the manual.

Go to Page 11.

This shows an illustration of the motherboard looking down at it from the top.
The letter S points to the Front Panel header.

[The plastic front of your computer is the Front Panel.

The area of pins on the motherboard that the cables (Wires) go to from the Front Panel, is the Front Panel header ]

Looking at the motherboard with the Processor to the top, Ram memory slots to the right, and the white PCI slots (3) to the bottom, the Front Panel header is located parallel to the bottom right edge of the motherboard.

(The illustration has the motherboard sitting on it's right side.
Not the direction it is sitting in your computer.
In your computer the motherboard is sitting as described above )

Now I would like you to go to Page 31.
This illustration shows the various internal headers on the motherboard.
The letter C points to the Front Panel header. (J9G1)

Note that the pins in the Front Panel header are labeled with numbers.
(Pinout)

There are 4 pins across the top.
There are 5 pins across the bottom.

Starting from the Left side of the motherboard, going towards the right, across the Top of the Front Panel header;

Pins 2, 4, 6, and 8.

Starting from the Left side of the motherboard, going towards the right, across the Bottom of the Front Panel header;

Pins 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9

Page 32: Front Panel Header

A) Pins 1 and 3 are for the HarDDrive activity LED light. (HDD LED)
Pin 1 is for the Positive ( + ) wire.

If the LED light is dim when operating, switch the wires around.

B) Pins 5 and 7 are for a Reset switch, IF used.
Pin 5 is for the Ground ( - ) wire.

C) Pin 9 is for a 5 Volt wire. (It's probably Red in color, IF used)

D) Pins 2 and 4 are for the Power On LED light. (Light Emitting Diode)

E) Pins 6 and 8 are for the Power On switch. (The Power On switch is located inside the plastic Power On button assembly)

F) Pin is N/C. Not Connected.

Here is the manual showing the motherboard layout and front panel connectors
http://support.acer.com/acerpanam/manuals/acer/0000/userguides/vt7500gug.pdf

I would like you to go here to Motherboards.org,
http://www.motherboards.org/mobot/manuals/MSI/MS-5185/
Where it states -> File: 5185v10.zipVersion:--Release Date:-- Download
I would like you to click on Download.

You will see a small window come up. Click on the empty circle to the left of -> Save

Unless, you have your downloads going to your My Documents folder (Start>My Documents) this will wind up on your desktop screen. It will be a yellow folder icon with probably -> 5185v10.zip <- under it.

Double-click on the yellow folder icon. You will see 6 PDF files.
5185-1.pdf, 5185-2.pdf, and so on.
To open them and look at them, you double-click on each one, one at a time.
Then in the File Download window, you click on Open.

In 5185-2.pdf, it shows you the Front Panel header, and where the Front Panel wires go.
(Not trying to insult your intelligence. The Front Panel is where your Power On button is. The Front Panel header is on the motherboard. A connector on a motherboard, is referred to as a Header)

Should somehow you can't download this PDF Motherboard Manual, I will try to explain the connections on the Front Panel header. Bear with me.

Viewing the motherboard with the processor up at the top, ram memory to the right, the Front Panel header is on the bottom right. It is the JFP2 header.
(The motherboard manual, clearly shows this header as being the JFP2 header. Then it states it's the JFP1 header. Believe there was a misprint. You'll know)

It is situated lengthwise up and down, parallel to the right side of the motherboard, with two rows of pins.

The pins are numbered 1 through 20. There are spots where there are No pins. Where there is no pin, I will state -> No connect

Starting at the top on the left side, and coming down.
Pin 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, No connect, and 10.

Starting on the top right side, and coming down.
No connect, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, No connect, 2, and 1.

1.Pins 18 and 17 are for the Reset Switch
2.Pins 16 through 13 are for the internal speaker
3.Pins 12 and 3 are for the HarDDrive activity LED.
4.Pins 10 and 1 are for the Keylock Switch
5.Pins 8 and 7 are for the Power On switch
6.Pins 6, 5, and 4, are for the Power LED
Pin 6 is the Positive connection, (+)

This motherboard uses an ATX 20-pin motherboard power connector.
It is at the top of the motherboard, and goes across lengthwise.
There are 20 socket holes.
Pin 1 is on the top left. It uses an Orange wire. (3.3 volts)
Pin 10 is all the way to the right. It uses a Yellow wire, (12 volts)

Did you ever solve the connector pins? I did for a MB I purchased. Respond on this and I will post the solution.

I downloaded the PDF Motherboard Manual for the MSI MS-6380E Version 1.0, just now.

Let's take a look at that JFP1 header.
This view is looking at the JFP1 header, sitting at the bottom right of the motherboard, TO THE LEFT of the JFP2 header. The JFP2 header is at the very bottom right hand corner. The JFP1 header is just to the left of it. The processor is to the Top/Middle.


Looking at the pins going across the top of the JFP1 header, they are as follows,
2, 4, 6, 8, and there is no 10. There is no pin for 10.
Looking at the pins going across the bottom, they are as follows,
1, 3, 5, 7, and 9.

Pins 6 & 8 are for the Power On switch.
Pins 2 & 4 are for the Power On light, (LED light)
Pins 1 & 3 are for the HarDDrive activity light.
Pins 5 & 7 are used for a Reset switch. (IF, you have one)

Should you not have the Motherboard Manual, go here,
http://motherboards.org/mobot/manuals/MSI/MS-6380E/
(If this doesn't come up as a link, copy and paste it into your address bar, then press the Enter key)
On this page click on ->Download <- to the right of
File: 6380ev1.0.exe Version: - - Release Date: - -

When you do a small window will come up. Click on the empty circle to the left of -> Save.
This file will be saved either directly to your deswktop screen, or your My Documents folder. I don't know how you have your downloads set up to be saved. I save them to my My Documents folder.

Once you see this file, double-click on it. It's a WinRar file. There will be a Microsoft 'Squawk Box' that comes up. "Warning this publisher could not be verified, ya-da, ya-da"

Ignore it! Click on -> Run
Now the WinRAR extraction archive will come up.
Click on Run.

Now go to the PDF file and double-click on it.
There's your Motherboard Manual.

USUALLY THEY ARE NEXT TO YOUR RAM SLOTS. TRY THERE

Hi pc_ski,
Download the manual for your board, click on this PDF link.
http://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/D845GLLY/ADLY_English.pdf

See page 64 first for the layout of the front panel header. The block you need to refer to is letter C. Here you'll see where pin one is located at.
Go to page 65. Table 32 shows the pin assignments for the front panel header. Pin-1 & pin-2 is for the HDD & pin-7 & pin-8 for reset switch.

Have more questions? Post here.
Good luck pc_ski!
Mike
