Upgraded my computer to use SATA 2 Drives. Asus Mainboard, 2 Seagates 400G &
200G. Works fine. However, for cooling purposes, I mounted them in kind of like
trays that go into 2 - 5 1/4 bays. Each tray has three small fans in front and seems
to do the job of cooling, (I have a drive temperature program) although way too
loud and driving me crazy, b ut I guess I'll have to live with that.
Anyways ............ the real question. Each "Tray" has a HDD light on it and
they don't work.
The trays have a standard electrical 4 prong connector for the fans and another 2
prong, looks like a mainboard connector for the light. Does any one know how I can
make the lights work on the drive trays ? I was thinking unhooking the LED light
on the mainboard and hooking in one of the tray plugs, will that work ? .... with
the main HDD LED wire unhooked from the mainboard and I can't hook up two tray wire
plugs to one mainboard plug ? Please help if you can, I really would like to know
when the Hard Drives are working, any suggestions appreciated, Paul.
