Hello everybody.
First off, a huge thank you to everybody who contributed to the last question I had. I was overwhelmed by the support and I'm just that bit closer to putting the finishing touches to my PC!

Now, I have the Asus H81M-A Motherboard (Budget reasons). It fits perfectly well in the case and, despite the Nividia Gtx 770 taking up the space of another PCIe card, all is well.
My question is this: How do i wire up the front two buttons (and lights) to the Motherboard?

Here's a picture I've taken from the inside of my case:

The manual directed me to install wires here, the first two you can see are the reset and HDD activity LED, behind those are the two wires for the Power switch and LED. I'm concerned about their positioning however. Obviously I have to plug them in to their appropriate positive/negative terminals. However none of wires or the black headers have any indication of which side is which. The only mark i can see on each is a small triangle with the word "KSP" above it, the triangle is facing down (not sure if that's of any help.

So what should I do guys? Any thoughts? I've googled around and the general consensus seems to be that, with the voltage being so low here, a miss-wiring wouldn't damage the Mobo, all I'd need to do is simply switch the wires around.
 
Solution
There is no correct orientation for a push button switch. It's just connecting the two pins, it doesn't have a positive/negative

LEDs are diodes. They only allow power to flow one way by design and will block it if installed backwards. if they don't light turn them around.
