SMUGDESK Power Splitter Cord with Power Reset Switches and HDD LED

SKU CH-5VH0-HM65Y

An external power button module with reset switch and HDD LED for motherboard testing and bare chassis builds

  • Remote power on/off and reset control for desktop PCs
  • Power switch, reset switch and HDD activity LED integrated
  • Standard motherboard front-panel pinout for direct F_PANEL connection
  • Extended cable places controls outside test bench or rack
  • Plug-and-play operation with no drivers or extra power required

External power and reset module

This external power button module adds power on/off, reset and HDD activity LED controls to a motherboard front-panel header. It is designed for test benches, bare chassis workstations and hardware debugging where the original case front panel is not installed.

Standard front-panel pinout limits

The cable plugs directly into a standard motherboard F_PANEL header using the common pin assignment for power switch, reset switch and HDD LED. Polarity of the LED pins must be observed during connection or the indicator will not light. No additional drivers or external power are required.

Replaces missing or inconvenient case front panel

This module substitutes for a missing or inaccessible case front panel during repeated motherboard, CPU or GPU testing. The jump is worthwhile when you need remote power and reset operation plus real-time drive activity visibility without wiring the original chassis switches each time.

Questions about this item

What does the standard motherboard front-panel pin definition mean for installation?

The connector matches the typical F_PANEL header layout, so you can plug it straight onto the motherboard without adapters or pin-out diagrams.

How does the HDD activity LED help during hardware testing?

The LED lights when the connected storage device reads or writes, giving instant visual confirmation that the drive is working while you debug components.

What does the extended cable length allow in a test-bench setup?

You can position the power, reset and LED module outside the open chassis or rack, keeping controls reachable while you swap motherboards, CPUs or graphics cards.
