hi
i just got a new motherboard set up, everything was going well till i get to the system panel connectors, the plastic connector that just clipped into the last board does not fit into the new board, i can pull the pins out of the connector lead and they will fit that way but i dont know witch ones to plug them into.
this is my first time replacing a motherboard.
there are 6 wires.
i have 2 red wires i think they are coming from the power switch,
white cable and a yellow cable are coming from an led.
a green cable and a blue cable from another led.

the thing im trying to plug it into looks like this

The cables coming from the computer, at the tip of it for each cable, they are labelled with a name so as to match it to the motherboard. Make sure the names written on the tip of the cables is facing the opposite way of the motherboard when connecting it to the pins. That should be the right way to fit it.

Ok then. The cable that you need the most is the power cable. Try to pinpoint that cable and when you find it, connect it to the 'PWRSW' pins labelled by the manual. The rest ain't that necessary. Then press the power button and see if it switches on. PLEASE make sure the computer is not connected to any power source when doing something to the motherboard at any time. Once finished and the computer case is sealed, then connect it.
