I recently purhcased the W680 motherboard, and an Inter-Tech server rack cabinet. When installing the motherboard, i discovered that the cabinet has 3 network card activity indicator connectors that controls 3 network activity leds in the front. However, there are no connectors on the motherboard for nic activity leds. Is there a way to utilize these leds

    Only a small number of our motherboards are designed with header pins for network interface LEDs. Most models do not feature this design by default, hence external network indicator lights are not supported.If you really need to activate the indicator lights, you may install a PCIe network card that supports network LED indicators. Alternatively, you can use a single‑chip microcontroller to drive them for more custom functionalities. Defining their working logic and blinking patterns on your own might better suit your requirements.
