![]() ![]() I tried different combinations with the wires but that was the only one that worked.Īs of right now I do not have an I/O sheild but im looking for something that will work.Īll I needed for the front was power switch and I found it just by trying the pins untill I saw some activity. The fan only goes backwards but I just flipped it around. I also had to splice the wires as the connector for the cpu fan is one ive never seen before. I wrapped a thin peice of electrical tape around the heatsink right where the fan attaches to keep the screws from vibrating out. ![]() I had to fashion a fan for the heatsink which meant using screws that would reach down into the fins and hold it. And some electrical tape!!! Its not pretty but its working. ![]() In my opinion, you are opening a can of worms, but if you want to continue with the change, all I can say is good luck.Ĭlick to expand.Alright, I got it in the case with minimal effort. If that happens you will need a spare 2x? kk plug to change all the connectors on the motherboard front panel header. Due to the age of the Dell kk connector, you will most likely wind up breaking off one or more of the kk latches on the old connector (they get brittle from old age and heat). You are going to need to modify the board from passive cooling to active cooling which is going to present some problems to you.Ĭhanging the front panel connectors is fairly easy, you just have to trace the power on, reset, power LED, and activity LED from the front panel of the new chassis. #2-The Dimension 4550 uses passive processor cooling. #1-You would need to go to Intel and try to match up an I/O shield that matches the I/O connectors on your board. If it is integrated as part of the chassis I believe you are going to get into something that you are going to later regret that you started. If I recall correctly (I may be wrong) but I believe the I/O shield may be an integrated part of the chassis Dell used. The Dimension 4550 used a manufacturer proprietary Intel series 845 board. First of all the number E210882 is not the board model number, it is the UL file number. ![]()
