How do I hook up my power button to my mother board?

[Erose524]

Hello, I am in the process of building a computer for the first time, and I've run into an issue. I have an "Asus - maximus IX Hero ATX" motherboard, and a "Corsair - Air 540 ATX Mid Tower Case" I need to give power to the case's front buttons (power, ect.) and I have the cords, but where do I need to plug the cords into on the motherboard? Thanks in advance!

There should be a header on your motherboard near a USB and/or HD Audio header. If you check the motherboard's manual, you should be able to find the location. It will look like a set of 8-10 pins on most ATX mobos.

As a last resort.... Always read the manual...Page 1-21

We hooked up all the pins, and the power button turns on the computer now! Thanks so much!
