I am doing a new build with a PC-DL-Deluxe. I maybe behind the times
but why is the hard drive LED setup in the middle of the Speaker pins
on the System Panel Connector ? And what's a Message LED for ?
thanks

Since your behind times..
I'll point you to something else new that will help with this..
There is this Book that's White with a GreenStripe down the side (Called a
User Guide)..
It has all of the information that you will require
 
The user guide for that board does not have a green stripe..............

Lol..
DAMN
I thought that was an asus standard ;)
 
By behind the times I meant I am mostly use to rack mount and or PRO
cases, rather then cheap consumer grade cases.

I have read the manual, I have read the latest pdf manual and yet the
only mention of of the Message LED is where to plug it in. As to the
HD LED being in the middle of the speaker plug in I haven't come
across this yet and wondered if this had something to do a all in one
LED block or some other consumer level "convenience"
 
It's a Dual P4/Xeon motherboard that uses non-ecc ram and screams like
no other motherboard has in the past (single CPU).

The PC-DL Deluxe is a entry level Xeon Workstation board. The most
significant thing about it is that it will install in a standard ATX
case, however, it still requires a special Xeon power supply.

There is no P4 Xeon. There is Xeon, and there is P4. The board uses
either ECC or Non ECC. However, anything 1GB or above should probably
be ECC as large amounts of RAM tend to be error prone.

Actually, the RAM will have errors if it's going to, it has nothing to
do with the size of the RAM.

Wrong. This is well documented in SciSoft Sandra 2004.
However, the more memory devices that you load on a single
channel increases the chance that the loading on the chipset will
cause signal quality failures. Of course, the real world test is that
if you have a lot of memory installed and your system works fine, then
you're probably OK. But you may be having failures you're not aware of
..Bottom line is if it is mission critical then you want ECC or
Registered .
 
It's not.
A speaker plug has four pins by default and only the first and last are
used.
the two middle ones are not connected.
So there is no way the HD(IDE)Led can be connected if a long 4 connector
speaker plug is used.
Its not in the middle of speaker pins at all.

Actually on this board it is in the middle of the speaker connector.

In order to make it work I needed to fabricate my own connecter by
adding two center LED connectors into the middle of the four opening
speaker connector. I suppose you could also cut the speaker connector
in half and then place the inputs two pins apart with a normal HD LED
in the middle.

It is odd that they did it this way, when I saw it I just assumed that
somebody must be making consumer cases with this sort of LED
connector.... but I guess not.

That's nuts..

That looks just plain wrong to be honest..

I tried to d/l the users book for it but every one I found was like..
asiapacific stuff.. China/Japan (or something of the sort)..
But the diagram is the same and it's odd cause it says use a 4 pin speaker
connection..
Verry odd indeed.. I would email asus tech support and make sure that's
correct.. Normally those 2 pins for the hard drive are not labled or labled
as ground.. so maybee it's just been marked wrong?..
 
Bit of a brainfart here..
Asus Tech dont get back to things promptly .. so Maybee try one of the sites
that's review'd this board
It seems that "Wesley Fink" (e-mail address removed) review'd this board so
he MIGHT be able to help you if you email him.. (worth a try)

nope it's not marked wrong because it works that way.
