September 7, 201015 yr I would like to move my unraid-box to the cellar, but I want the power-switch and the power-led to stay... Step 1 If I take another push-button an a led, I can put them parallel to the existing ones of the case?! Step 2 Cable. There is an unused cat5-wall-socket going to a patch-panel in the cellar. So my idea is - take an phone-cable with small (4 pin) western plugs - cut it in two pieces - solder the extra led and push-button on one end and - put the other end in the case, like in Step 1 Under normal circumstances, this should be no problem. But if - by mistake - a pc or network component (GigE) is plugged in on one of the sides of this cable, it might not like it. The component can find a shortcut or some power (ment for the led) there. My question: Can I choose pins on the cable so a mistake would have no impact? Depending on your answers, it is likely that the power-switch und -led decide not to stay and that they will leave me a note: "Bye. Use s3 and wol..."
September 7, 201015 yr Author http://www.iofast.com/product_info.php/products_id/2923 Perhaps this wouldn't trigger the shutdown-script... The power-switch I was referring to is the atx-case-mb-power-switch.
