I have a http://www.intel.com...ds/server/STL2/ and i now have a case available that has the colored cables for the lights and switches but i don't really know where to put them since i don't have the manual or instructions and the other problem is that there is actually a 10 PIN CONNECTOR in the top center of the board i don't know for what is that or if i need this


i hope i am not spamming if i put a similar discussion of another forum in my next post THANK YOU ANYWAYS AND I REALLY DON'T WANT TO BUY ANYTHING ELSE THAT WONT WORK.

The ten block connector to which you refer appears to be optional according to the above document. Don't forget this is a server board and server boards have all kinds of weird and wonderful bits that you don't see on mainstream boards.

i have a bestec 300w power supply with a 20 pin connector and p4 should it start if i connect it and for me to do that i neeeed to know what should i do with this because i have my front panel with 23 pin outs wich of those will be exept for the speaker that is another thing


I BELIEVE THE 10 PIN THIN IS OPTIONAL BUT I NEED YOUR HELP

[Neil Jones]

Connecting the power supply on its own shouldn't fire up the board. Typically this will only happen anyway if the board has an issue.

Plus I personally wouldn't use anything with the word Bestec on it. Bestec power supplies are responsible for 95% of all problems with eMachines computers as they literally cook the main board to death.

As to where the connectors in your picture go, this document has the answer:
ftp://download.intel.com/support/motherbo...l2/stl2_tps.pdf - in particular section 5.3.20, on pages 5-77 and 5-78.

Any standard ATx power supply should be sufficient. If you're low on cash the Bestec should be fine to get it going to ensure it's working but I strongly recommend replacing it as and when you can.

The motherboard has 24 pins atx and the psu only 20 and also is missing the auxiliar power cable any suggestions.

The 24 pin isn't a problem. You can only connect it one way.
As previously stated in this thread, the auxiliary power is noted in the manual and all the references as being optional. You don't need it.
