Here is me stuck when connecting headers from case to the motherboard, Going by the ASRock Extreme4 x99 manual, first listed onboad header and connectors was what is called "System Panel Header" the case I am using Thermaltake supp F51 had already Pins coming from the front side, with power sw, power led +/- hdd led reset sw, so one by one i connected those to those connections on ASRock motherboard, (pls see 3rd picture attached)

Then 2nd page stated another header connections called "Power Led Header" on motherboard manual, again with PLED + + - connections, however all PLED- and + I already connected to the other System Panel Header pins, since they had those connections there,

now I am confused, what is the difference between these 2 headers and which ones I should use to make it correctly?

Please see photos I also took photos of the ASRock manual each page that lists these;

Motherboard Manual, First one stated was "System Panel Header":

Right after this second page there is another called Power LED Header that also includes same pins;

This is how it looks like on the board, itself I had one set of single pin connections labeled from the front panel of the Thermaltake case so I connected those to the header listed first, but you can see at the top there is 3-pin 'Power Led header' connections as well that was listed right after that one.:

Your photos are not coming through. But those two headers are essentially the same. Some cases' FP wiring have the Pwr LEDs on a connector with individual pins, some are a 2-pin connector, and some are a 3-pin connector. The extra header gives you a choice of which works best. If your case has a 2-pin or single pins, then connect them to the FP header with the rest of the FP wiring.

hi clutch c - all the connectors from front panel of the case, are single pins like named and labeled "power sw" power led + / - HDD Led reset sw, yes these are individual pins, but on the motherboard, as I mentioned (I can see the photos not sure why they are not showing up) there are 2 different places mentioned at the manual, first set mentioned on the headers list is called "System Panel Header" which has more pins than just PLED + and PLED -
the second header is named "Power LED Header" that has only 3 pins PLED + and - and another +, I wish the photos came up you would see. so I was able to get those single pins to the first larger set. Hopefully they will work..
