Hello everyone,

This is my first build and so far it's going okay *touch wood* However I've gotten to the part where I'm having to plug the panel cables into the panel pins on the motherboard itself. Here are pictures of the manual and the pins I'm referencing:

I'm getting confused because there is only 1 slot for the power switch yet the power switch pin has 2 pins on it. The same happens with the reset pin. I thought that perhaps they're suppose to plug into the ground as well? But then I'm unsure on which way round they go as well as where the HDD LED pins would then plug into as there is an +, - and a ground next to those slots but only 2 pins. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Tom

GND = Ground
The two pins for PWR goes into the PWR and GND, same thing for the others. As for + an -, I just go straight in and try it out to see if it works when I turn the PC on. There's no harm in plugging in the wrong ones, in addition, most of the time they all end up facing the same direction. Like downward towards GPU or upward towards CPU. My motherboard panel pin faces downward.

Hi thanks for your reply! What about the HDD LED pins and the reset pins though? I assume the reset pins goes into the reset and ground on the far right (please correct me if I'm wrong)? But do the HDD LED pins go into the +, - slots? or do they go into one of the - and ground slots? Thanks for your help!
