Anyone know what the wire colors are (polarity) on an Antec 900 front panel connectors? I understand that the power switch and reset switch is irrelevant, but the HD LED and POWER LED are not designated on the connector.

I meant to image my old build before taking it all apart but I had new hardware and excitement got the better of me. To be honest, if I blow an LED via reverse bias, I can just replace them with something more 2017, a RGB WS2812B with a controller.

The antec 900 manual is no help at all.

Thank you for your time!

I don't have that case available right now. But the color code rule is when a pair of wires are white + another color, the white is negative. When a black and another color are paired up, the black is negative.
Btw, you won't "blow" the LED by wiring it in reverse. It just won't light. It is a diode. Lets current flow in one direction only.

Even though this isn't exactly accurate but these wires indicate where they will go on the motherboard.

Start off by hooking the pw switch and reset switch first, power it on to make sure it works.
Next look at the mobo position for the wires to go for the hdd wire and then the powr led wires last.
Just a matter of trial and error, its aggrevating as hell but worth it once its hooked correctly and won't come out easily.
Mmake sure not to do this on carpet flooring and wear static wrist strap or touch the metal frame of the antec900 to discharge.
