Query on Tampa 2 Front Panel Header Pin Out

[Alex_S1]

Hi all.

I am considering buying a new case for my omen, one being a "Corsair 4000D Airflow". I'm checking compatibility of this case with the motherboard Tampa2. Likewise, I would like to know what the pin out of the front IO panel header on the motherboard is, as the 4000D case has Power SW, Power LED, Reset SW, HDD LED wires that are separated from each other, as opposed to the one wire connector labelled "Power SW" that comes with my HP omen case.

Thanks

@Alex_S1 , welcome to the Community.

Here is a HP Knowledge Base article that will explain what to consider when moving your HP motherboard to a new gaming case.  As you will see, it is difficult to know if a new case will work with your motherboard.  The biggest concerns are the holes in the board matching the stand-offs in the case.

Here are the Product Specifications for the computer.  The diagram of the motherboard is the best that I can do to give you information on the front panel header.  HP doesn't provide any more in-depth information.

I ended up purchasing it and rebuilding the omen. It is indeed difficult to check compatibility when there is a clear lack of information on this motherboard on HP's Website, intentional or not. I took a gamble and bought it like every other upgrade that I have made. The motherboard is a uATX form factor and fits perfectly in the case as it supports it, I did have to install a few more stand-offs to make sure it was in secure. I used a reference pin out image from Google from an intel motherboard and plugged the different IO cables in accordingly, and it seems to be the exact same.

It would be nice to have some extra information as a bare minimum instead of having to ask on a forum and wait days for a reply, if one at all. My warranty has expired for my omen, so HP support wouldn't even accept a live chat without charging me and if they didn't, they would struggle to even answer a simple question.  The only way to attempt an upgrade on a HP prebuilt is to take a risk with compatibility.

Thanks for your help.
