building comp from scratch. and wiring it now.
took off my back panel and the wires that pre come with the rosewill challenger only has the one 2prong from RESET..one 2 prong from the POWER SW...and one 2 prong coming from the little light next to the reset button HDD LED...still cant find on the end towards my motherboard anything single prong + and a single prong - that all the manuals are saying? All i find that single wire that connects them 3.
theres only one light on my case near reset button side no light near power button.
is it ok if some of these prongs are left unused? im just hoping its not a case error and its like a ground wire that is important.
is this something i add with a SSD or CD drive?

I have the same case that you are speaking of, and I'd imagine if it is only the LED wires you don't have connected, then the front case fans won't have the LED's lit up, but you should be alright. If I remember correctly, The LED's were a separate set of wires than the power and reset. The only thing you can really do is attempt to boot the system, I'd still imagine your hardware inside will remain safe.

tx..i think its because the fan on front panel is tied into this blue LED power light which signifies system is on by the blue light on front..so as long as i plugged that fan connector into the fan slot ..as a fan NOT on the jsp1..then it should be good right??

Your reply was a tad confusing, however I think I understand what you're saying. It all depends on the motherboard, look for something that has three or four pins on the MB labeled "FAN1" or "FAN2" etc to plug the fans in. If your fans have only three pins and the MB has four, it's okay, it'll work just fine.
