The Acer IPISB-VR Rev 1.01 Go to product viewer dialog for this item.
The IPISB-VR Rev 1.01 is a robust OEM board, but its front panel header requires a non-standard wiring approach. Successful integration requires ignoring the generic "ATX Pinout" charts and treating the connector as a proprietary interface, specifically noting the adjacent Power Switch pins and the specific LED polarity. If connecting to a standard case, it is often easier to cut the individual 2-pin headers off the new case's wires and insert them into the Acer block one by one, rather than trying to force the entire block onto the pins incorrectly.
While solving the power button issue is paramount, a total case transformation requires connecting audio and data paths: Front panel pin installation, help! - Acer Community
or arrow on the back of the plastic connector to identify the positive wire.
After years of trial and error, the community reverse-engineered the pinout. If you are staring at this board right now, here is the "Rosetta Stone" you need.

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) require correct electrical polarity. If your Power LED or HDD LED remains dark when the machine runs, shut down the system, pull the individual 2-pin connector out, flip it 180 degrees, and plug it back into the exact same pins. 3. Splicing the Original Cable Array
If you buy a retail motherboard, it comes with a manual that has a clear diagram showing you where to plug in the Power Switch, Reset Switch, HDD LED, and Power LED.
