carbide 275r

Hello, I bought one of these recently and I will mount the new pc in it, but I have the doubt of the LEDs that the box brings. Namely, RESET SW, POWER SW, -P LED, + P LED.

When they are connected in MB, the power button is ok, the reset button, and then there is a fixed white light on the lower front, which never changes.

My question is, are there no activity LEDs for the HDD ?.

Greetings and thanks in advance :[pouts:

There's no dedicated HDD activity LED on the 275R but you can always connect the P LED onto the HD LED pin instead, it's not a problem.

Hi, in the manual of the box (page 14), clearly indicates that it includes an individual HDD connector, which can be considered misleading advertising and possible cause of legal claim. I have done what you tell me, but it makes a bridge between the POWER and the HDD, that is, when it reads the HDD, it blinks, but so does the POWER button, so if the HDD works, it is on, and if no, it is off, in addition to the lower front light.

I do not think that a box of about € 90 has such a simple cut.

Greetings

There is no HDD LED. What I opted to do was:

1) Disconnect the underglow LEDs.

2) Cut an HDD LED wire from an old case and attach/solder a white LED to the wires.

3) Connect the new white LED to the HDD LED on the mobo.

4) Run the new white LED connected to the HDD LED to the same spot where the underglow is located at the bottom front of the case.

5) Presto! I have a white HDD LED!

NOTE: If you don't have an old case, HDD LED can be purchased online.
