Hey! So I recently got a new case and put the HP ProDesk 600 G2 motherboard into it, although, when connecting the front panel connectors, I got confused. I put a picture above/below this post for reference, I can't find the manual online for this to help, and all the pictures/diagrams are different from how mine looks, instead of the 10th pin being gone, my 5th pin is. Any help??

Probably the same as the 400 series

Possibly the jumper is to bypass the tamper switch.
Many OEM systems do not come with a reset button. I think IBM was responsible for this when they came out with that microchannel "PS2" system in the 80's. There was no reset button on any models but I read that the IBM engineers had added their own backdoor reset switch to make debugging easy. Most Dell, HP and IBM system no longer have a reset. OTOH most cases come with wiring for a reset switch that is normally useless. I have a "slot dvd" with no eject button and have thought about how to use the "spare" reset button to eject the dvd.
