HDD LEDs on Antec ALK1600

edited December 2003 in Hardware
My ANtec ALK1600 has THREE HDD LED wires to the front panel. How do I know which one to use to connect to my Epox 8KHA+ mobo? Is scandisk a good way to make hits on the hard drive till I see which one lights up the LED?

Thanks.

Ken

    Use the one labelled "HDD LED" or "HDD"

    The only use I can see for the others labelled "I" and "II" are for RAID/IDE controller cards that have ports on them to allow a seperate drive light to be operated.

    Cool. My lanboy has the same thing and I just never bothered to ask.
    Now I know, thanks!

    I plan to connect them to my CDROM drives, so I know what they're doing with the door shut.

    Before I had stuck a Promise controller into my system, I modded both the I and II lights to my NIC lights to show activity. :)

    Kinda neat to see those lights flying on and off showing NIC activity on the front of my case... :)
