That is an Intel D848 chipset motherboard produced for several OEMS, (Gateway, Dell,
Lenovo/IBM, emachine) your board is imprinted with a Lenovo bios. The pin layout
for the front panel is correct for what you have posted as far as the pin numbers.
Just keep in mind that if you are looking at the board in the case the 14 pin front
panel goes 1-6, bottom to top on the right bank (7 is blank) and 8-14, bottom to
top on the left bank. The reset connects to 13-14 in the upper left vertically, power
to 5-6 in the upper right vertically. Hard drive LED to 1-8 horizontally at the bottom,
and Green power LED to 3-4 in the right bank vertically.
USB connectors are the same as most other boards in that they connect VCC+, usb-,
usb+, Ground or in most cases RED_WHITE_GREEN_BLACK. On this board the pin layout
is the same but is flipped on the second set of pins and is laid out as this:
GROUND*BLANK*USB+*USB-*VCC
VCC*USB-*USB+*BLANK*GROUND
Some of you have stated that the front and rear case fans do not work. THEY DO, THE
BOARD IS NOT DEFECTIVE!! The boards onboard temp sensors will only start the fans
based on temperature demands. When the system is under heavy load, the fans will
spin up and then shut off when the system cools down.
I hope this helps.
