POWEREDGE T300 - Front Panel 40 Pin header help! - (Power Button)

This is my first time asking a question, so I am including as much info as I have so maybe someone can help. 

I have a Poweredge T300 tower server, intel Xeon processor (LGA775 chipset I do believe, Socket T?) I bought the computer missing several components including the front panel. The Front panel has not only the power/reset button, but also two usb ports and a LCD readout and connects to the mobo 40 pin header.

I have been trying for the last several weeks to get this server to start without the front panel, by means of trying to pinout this 40 pin header with a multimeter. I have had no luck "jumping" the pins I thought to be the right ones. I am able to get it to initially start, but shuts immediately back down after around 2 seconds. Any idea's as to much pins need to be used to wire in a different button? My thoughts are it needs to have something other than a "jumping" of two pins. 

The image i attached are my VDC readouts for each pin with the power being supplied and the STBY led being illuminated on the mobo.

Hi there,

Unfortunately, the control panel is one of the minimum to POST components to have to start the server up.

Here's the list:

  • System board
  • Processor (with heatsink)
  • One stick of memory in slot 1
  • 1 power supply (with Power Supply Distribution Board for systems with redundant power supply)
  • Control panel (to turn on system)

Here's the control panel and cable part# just in case you're looking for it, YU333 Control Panel Cable & KP013 Control Panel
