I am having some trouble getting my HDD led light to come
on. According to the motherboard manual i did everything
correctly, the power led light is comming on but not the
HDD led light. Does anybody have any suggestions?

By the way, the power led has the little green "light
bulb" icon and the hdd led has the little red "canister"
icon right?? thanks

Hi Ameer -

Reverse the wires connecting the HDD LED to the motherboard. LED's will not
work if their polarity is reversed.

That would be determined by the Case manufacturer. Trace the wires.
