How do i connect this motherboard to this case?
Last response: in Motherboards
Hi, i have a case that is a bit complicated. It has an extra main control board that controls ligths, fans and temperatures. Well, the thing is that it has three cables coming out of it wich i dont know how to use. These they are:

Black: Labeled as MB USB i guess this one is easy, just plug it to an usb.
White: Looks like the power cable for a fan. Comes from a Motherboard IO with many pins connector that is in the Main control board, only three of them end in this white connector. But, where do i plug it? it sure fits in a fan connector but arent those for fans... i mean fan speed can change, but i guess this board doesnt, its a different thing isnt it?
Blue: Looks like USB, only that it has the plastic filled pin hole on the opposite side. This one reunites 6 smaller ondulated cables. Three of them come from the Main card , are labeled as BLINK. The other 3 seem to come from the frontal area and are labeled as LED SWITCH.
Any ideas? If they are the PN1 and PN2 connectors how can i know where to connect them... will i need to break the connector into 6 individual ones? Im a bit of a noob for this complex case, any help would be aprecciated. Thanks in adavance.

You can plug the first one (USB), but it doesn't look standard to me. I wouldn't plug the second one until I know exactly what its purpose is. The third one most likely isn't a USB connector. Based on your description, it should drive LEDs on your case. Is that a case from an OEM PC with some OEM motherboard? If not, didn't a wiring diagram come with the case?
It is an alienware case, i bougth it empty on ebay. It comes with the card and ligths. I found tutorials for similar older versions of the card, like this one:

But i didnt manage to make much sense out of it, and i cant find anything related to the new model.

I can take more photos or get the labels or writings for any cable if that can help.
