I purchased the Mainboard (11th Gen Intel® Core™) for a project where I am not planning on using a Framework case. However, I cannot seem to figure out where the power button on the main board is located. Any help on this would be appreciated.

There’s a little button on the top right corner of the mainboard and if you press it, the mainboard should boot.

I don’t really see anything in the top right corner, I have included a picture. [20231119_120135]

Does the thing under JECDB not turn on the mainboard if you press it?

It doesn’t seem to press in at all.

mine is the 11th gen. I also need to figure out a way to add a switch, solder leads to the board or something.

Press the black dot in the middle. That is the power button. [image] Adam_Kosherick: [20231119_120135] The button on the official coolermaster case presses that switch.

that looks amazing, unfortunately it’s apparently sold out.

So, this is what I am trying to build…

Framework Cyberdeck - DIY Portable PC - YouTube

This is what I think I am gonna have to do, has anyone tried something like this before?

Is this power button compatible with 13th gen?
