I'm just betting this is what you had on the old mobo, since HP WON'T release the mobo specifics!! <<----This is why I don't buy pre-built systems!!!
You have a 9/10 pin setup, from HP's website. If you were looking at the pinout on the old mobo and lined up the 5 pins on the right and the 4 pins on the left, this is what I'd bet that you had:
Pin
(lower left - the first one on the bottom of 4 pins)
+ PWR LED ---> up from it - PWR LED ----> up from it PWR Button ---> up from it PWR Button GND
(^^^That is the 4 pin portion)
On the 5 pin portion:
+ HD LED ---> up from it - HD LED ---> up from it GND for the Reset button ---> up from it RESET Button ---> and up from it, there isn't any connection.

The picture should help you out quite a bit. Went searching for about an hour looking for firm details on the HP mobo, but couldn't find anything, so I searched out a possible common pinout for a front panel connection.
Looking at your manual will allow you to put the pins in the correct places. Look on page 1-23 section 7 for more details.
Here's a picture that I think matches your pinouts on the NEW mobo:

Yes there a couple of options:
1) pull out the pins (which your going to have to do anyway) and manually push each one onto the correct position.
2) buy these:
* ASUS Q-Connector
Make connections quick and accurate
The Q-Connector allows you to connect or disconnect chassis front panel cables in one easy step with one complete module. This unique adapter eliminates the trouble of plugging in one cable at a time, making connection quick and accurate.

You get the idea. Just punch in "Asus Q-Connector" and you should find what you need.
