Power Tower 1200 led panel question.
« on: August 13, 2004, 07:17:16 PM »
The Power Tower 1200 led panel has a pair of wires (red and black) going from it, and ending with a 2-pin female connector. I thought that this connector was intended for a connection with SCSI led pins on your SCSI controller, or similar (e.g. to make the HD activity led work when ever SCSI hard drive is active) however it seems to be used for something else.

What is this 2-pin female connector intended for? :-?

Yeah, that's the one. :-)
I've fixed it, but nothing happens when the connection is made with my SCSI drive. The hard drive outputs +5V through it's external LED indicator pins. Perhaps the HD activity LED on the case itself requires more power?

Anyway, when ever there's floppy activity, the HD led flashes. This happens by default, so the 2-pin red/black connector is definitelly not for floppy activity.
