I also have this questionable motherboard. I found various manuals that claimed to
be for the E210882 motherboard. None of them described my board. On top of that the
spash screen at boot is the gateway logo.
After a few hours of looking I decided to try the guess and check method. I took
the connector for the power switch and just started going to town. It worked. Then
I took the reset switch and did the same.
To help you with your guess and checking you should know it doesn't matter what way
you connect a switch to the motherboard, but the LED's(lights) do matter. After you
finish trying to find the proper place to plug them in once, reverse the conector
in your hand and try again.
My results from memory for front panel connections:
00 Not connected
00 Power Switch
00 Reset Switch
00 Not Connected
0X Not Connected
00 Power LED
0X Not Connected
00 HDD LED
Other Notes:
Press F2 to get to the Bios setup after you boot, it didn't like when I booted with
AGP but after I booted with a PCI video card once AGP began to work fine.
Good Luck Everyone!
