hi new to this site as a novice system builder!!!
the forums are really usefull thanks.
ive "aquired"a couple of pentium four mobos,one of them is really phasing me.its an IMPERIAL g 20030106 ...i cant find the PW/SW connector just aDC/SW is this it ?..dont want to cook the thing anyone any idea ive tried and failed to find a website for support.
PS financial constraints dictate that if it dousnt come from the dump it wont go in my machine.is that an environmental concience by default..HA HA

Hi, and welcome to Geeks 2 Go!!!

Interesting how they name their models. Ok can you take a picture of the mobo of where the connectors are? Because I can't find a link to the mobo anywhere.

I just happen to have a E-machine T2642 computer here that died. Yes, they do use the Imperial MB's and there is only one power switch on them. No reset switch and just 3 pairs of wires coming from the front panel on mine. power switch, LED power light and LED HD light. So i think you will be ok to plug a front power switch to the pins you call DC/SW.

Unfortunately these MB's are not known for reliabilityand i have taken 4 of these e-machine computer and rebuilt them with better power supplys and newer, better motherboards. Only thing that really good on them is they have good, strong, nice sized cases. I toss everything else out when i rebuild them( including the MB).
