      Also: It is possible to plug in a PCIe power cable into the P4/P8 socket, which then requires your board to have a current protection system or your board and possibly ram, CPU and GPU could be fried.

In those days, in order to pump out more computers quickly, instead of doing the same thing as PC case manufacturers, who use individual headers for *each wire,* OEMs just wired the switch to a singular connector piece to make it easier for people on the assembly line to plug in, while reducing the risk of having something wired incorrectly, since they're keyed to go in only one way.

Also my mail carrier didn’t feel like bringing it up to the house so she shoved it into the yellow newspaper receptacle.

    You know, I never really had a problem with these. All the boards I used had a guide on the board itself and the last two Gigabyte boards I’ve installed had a small plastic connector you plug all of the small connectors in to and then plug the whole connector into the board all at once. The plastic connector has a cable guide on it and can only plug into the board in one direction. That made things even easier 😄. I can see your point though 🤔.

      These labeled plastic connectors are really nice! On the opposite I currently have a board from a dell pre-built laying around where you just can't find documentation on the pin layout, literally nothing in all the manuals

    The best thing about the switch connectors they can work either way around a different story for the led connectors.

    Guys it’s pretty intuitive considering on most motherboards (this one included) there’s the diagram just above the pins 😂 literally stating - power led + etc etc
