Nihilistd is right, I found that manual too, when you go to the page 85-87, they have more detail. The layout look like:

13 11 9 7 5 3 1
14 12 x 8 6 4 2

#1 pin----HD+
#3 pin----HD-
#5 pin-----Reset Switch(-)
#7 pin----Reset Switch(+)
#6 pin----Power Switch(+)
#8 pin-----Power Switch(-)
If your new case has the power LED, then
#2 pin---power LED+
#4 pin---power LED-

( Your MB is the intel MB, more detail you can google: Intel Front Panel I O Connectivity Design Guide )
If you still have the case for the HP, trace the wires from the power button, reset button, and LED to the connector, and then you'll determine where the wires connect to.

If you don't have the case, you can simply do a trial and error routine using a flathead screwdriver, or similar tool to find the PWR and Reset pins.

I still have the case, unfirtunatelybi didnt check wich one was connected to the power. It start with a black and blue from thebpower button then switch to a one oiece connector with a one piece collector. Do i risk damaging any component if i try? How do you proceed with a flathead screwdriver?
