133141 2003-04-03 09:29:00 Hi. I am just got a "10/100mb PCI Ethernet Card" from Dick Smith's (great late night shopping on Thursdays :)) for $20. It goes into my PCI slot (I can do that) BUT it was a tinny power cord that has three holes on it. One end pugs into the card (with three pins) and the othe end is exactly the same. It looks like it plugs into the Mother Board but where? There are pins that say 'Chassis Fan' that look like they could be them but I don't know. Can some one please help me.

Thanks

James

You probably don't need to worry about the connector cable. It is a Wake On Lan cable which enables you to start the computer from another PC. If you check near the top of your PCI slots around about in line with your AGP slot you will probably find the motherboard connector there.

As I said though you probably don't require it. :)

That's very odd to find anything at all at the bottom of the mother board, to me it looks just like a train system gone wrong.
