SCSI LEDs and CASE LEDs

[Tsaico]

I hope this woul dbe the right place for this thread, but I was just wondering if there was a way to connect the LED's on my SCSI card to the LEDs for my case, I run all SCSI devices ('cept for a 40GB ide, too cheap to pass on) and just wanted the indicator light... Is it as simple as just connecting the two, or do I need to keep certain things in mind?

yup just 2 wires...one for the positive and negative...u might need a resistor in series with the positive connection if u find it too bright...

Read the manual that comes with your SCSI card and you should find the LED connectors. Run the case LED cable to those connectors. You may have to swap the polarity to get the anode/cathode right. It doesn't hurt the LED if you have them reverse; it just doesn't light up. Good luck.

Cool, I figured it might be that simple. Thanks.

Reverse breakdown of LED is fun.
