They have a screw going through to the back (of the front header) where it is connected to a second grounding.<br /><br />Hope this solves it.

Seems as...Hi Philip,<br /><br />thanks for the speedy reply!<br /><br />Seems as if there is not a real solution. We will try to fix it by a 150micron steel plate which we want to attach over the header area and connect to the enclosure's metal skeleton. I will let you know how it works out.<br /><br />Kind regards<br />UlrichUlrich Bauernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5976686513564131325.post-88138893060364341822011-11-09T11:58:01.841-07:002011-11-09T11:58:01.841-07:00Ulrich,

We have severe problems that about every 10th time you connect a USB key to the front panel header of the Antec enclosure, the screen goes mad (showing flashing colors in full screen for about 1 sec) and then the device reboots. We have six PCs of this configuration and all show the behaviour described. One motherboard now is even damaged (does not boot any more, reflashing, resetting CMOS, nothing helps).<br /><br /><br />My questions: Did you experience this behaviour and do you have any idea how to solve it?<br /><br />Kind regards<br />Ulrich Bauer<br />Miray Software AG, Germany<br /><br />PS: We are not a competitor ;-)Ulrich Bauerhttp://www.miray.denoreply@blogger.com
