usually there is a tiny positive or negative on one of the leads, try the power switch one way, if it doesn't work switch it

Generally the white is negative.

switches dont matter, either thier is a open or a closed connection.

when I power up a computer outside the case, I use a screwdriver across the terminals to turn it on.

the LED might matter, but wont mess up anything beyond the light not working if you get it wrong.

but yes white is generally negative
