the manual labels don't match wire labels. Pics related. The motherboard isn't labeled.
It won't boot windows without front audio and front USB connected (it boots to Ubuntu though).
The 2 USBs would be easy enough if I knew the orientation (not in the manual)
Motherboard Sp#380356
i guess i cant upload the pics so

Hello
if this does not fit try giving the computer model instead!
This is just a guess !!
so look at the documents here:
HP Compaq dx 7200 and dc7600 Personal Computers, Technical Reference Guide, 1st Edition
etc

I'm not sure!
But are you trying to reconnect the motherboard to its original box, or is it another box?
I have not looked at everything in the documents, but there are several formats (MT ST SFF etc) that does not change anything?
