Hello @ all.

I already searched on this board and on the internet, but I didn´t find the correct answers.
I have an old ECS TR-5510 socket 7 mainboard with a Pentium 75mhz on it but I cannot find where to connect the "Power switch" for the front panel on it!

I can only find a connector, next to the CPU, that says : "Turbo", "Reset" "Power Led","Speaker" "SMI" and "Keylock" (Whatever that means?) on but no connector for the power switch.

P8 & P9 are connected correcctly.

I also found online a zip file with the manual but it doesn´t ever mention it!

Since I normally work on Atari and Amiga systems I have some difficulties understanding those old PC boards. I hope someone here knows that type of board, I really would like to get it started.

I´m grateful for any help. Greetings from Italy 😁

The Power Switch is part of the AT PSU. There are some leads that branch off onto a large mechanical switch.

Those 4 prongs for the power switch which come from the AT psu are live voltage so don't connect it wrong or it will burn. There will be a little diagram on the psu what color goes to what color
