I just got a Azza toledo 301 case and put my stock Dell 018d1y motherboard from a inspiron 560 in the case. The motherboard uses a plug that looks like a USB 2.0 plug on the mother board but only uses 6 of the 10 prongs. The average motherboard has labeled prongs for where the power switch, reset switch, and hard drive activity plug into the motherboard. My motherboard does not lable them nor does it in the manual. I called dell and they couldnt tell me either but said if i shipped my computer to them they would plug it in for me. Does any computer major know how i could just plug them in? but i dont want to guess and end up shorting something out.

^ it's the black port that looks just like the USB ports all the way to the right side under the SATA plugs.

So is it safe to connect the cables to their right spot? or is there something that i'm missing? because this is dell and none of their parts make sense. The had part is that I don't know what is positive or negitive. and there is still 3 extra pins that im curious that 2 of them might be for a reset switch. I wish i could just find a manual for this motherboard that defines the pins for me. But I dont want to spend $20 to ship my computer to dell and $40 just for one of them just to touch it.
