Recently I purchased a used SC836 Supermicro chassis, it was pretty much stripped to the bare bones. My plan is to make this into a file server, however I don’t want to utilize a Supermicro motherboard. Lucky for me it accepted the mini-ATX board I had, however the front panel connector utilized a funky 16pin IDC connector, unlucky for me the cable supplied isn’t long enough so I’ll have to sort that out later. Anyways, after some quick probing heres the pinout for this connector (since I can’t seem to find one online)

16 PIN IDC with Odd pins being positive and Even pins being Negative:

+ [01] Pwr Sw+ [03] Rst Sw+  [05] Pwr Fault+  [07] Thermal Fault+  [09] Net 2+  [11] Net 1+  [13] Hdd+  [15] Pwr+
- [02] Pwr Sw- [04] Rst Sw-  [06] Pwr Fault-  [08] Thermal Fault-  [10] Net 2-  [12] Net 1-  [14] Hdd-  [16] Pwr-

OR:

01 Power Switch+
02 Power Switch-
03 Reset Switch+
04 Reset Switch-
05 Power Supply Fault LED+
06 Power Supply Fault LED-
07 Thermal Fault LED+

11 Network Interface LED 2+
12 Network Interface LED 2-

Hope this helps someone.
