Installation Guide
- Turn off your computer and remove the side panel of your PC case.
- Locate a suitable opening at the rear of the chassis and route the cable through into the case interior.
- Identify the Power SW and Power LED jumper pins on your motherboard. Carefully replace the existing jumpers with the corresponding connectors from this cable, ensuring positive (+) electrodes are connected correctly as indicated in the included diagram. Repeat for HDD LED and Reset SW in the adjacent row.
- If you wish to retain front-panel button functionality at the same time, use a 1-to-2 adapter (sold separately) to split the signal.
- Verify all connections, restart your computer, and confirm all functions operate normally. Use cable ties to tidy the harness and position the external switch button on your desk.
Note: Please confirm your motherboard's plug specifications (2.54mm pitch) before purchasing. A 1-to-2 adapter may be required depending on your specific motherboard socket layout.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this power switch extension cable work with any desktop motherboard?
A: This cable is designed for standard desktop motherboards with a 2.54mm terminal pitch — which covers the vast majority of ATX and Micro-ATX motherboards. Before installing, please verify that your motherboard's front-panel header uses the standard 2.54mm dispersed plug layout to ensure compatibility.
Q: Can I keep my existing front-panel buttons working alongside this external switch?
A: Yes. If you want to retain the original front-panel power and reset buttons, you will need a 1-to-2 splitter/adapter (not included) to share the motherboard header between both switch connections. The cable itself is fully compatible with this configuration.
Q: How long is the cable, and is it long enough to reach my desk from a tower on the floor?
A: The cable is 2 metres (approximately 6.5 feet) long, which is sufficient for most standard desk-and-floor-tower setups. Route the cable through a rear chassis opening and along the back of your desk for a tidy result.
Q: Does this cable require any drivers or software to install?
A: No software or drivers are required. The GGBEE desktop power switch extension is a purely hardware solution — it simply extends your motherboard's existing header connections. Some basic assembly (connecting the header pins) is required, but no digital configuration is needed.
