You can connect either the AC’97 or the HDA connector, depending on the model of the motherboard. Locate the internal audio connectors from your motherboard or sound card and connect the corresponding audio cable. Consult your motherboard or sound card manual for the pin-out positions. Even if your system supports both audio standards, you may only use one connector.

3.4Power Switch / Reset Switch / Hard Disk Drive LED Connectors

Connected to your front panel are LED and switch leads for power, reset, and HDD LED activity. Attach these to the corresponding connectors on your motherboard. Consult your motherboard manual for specific pin header locations. For LEDs, colored wires are positive ( + ). White or black wires are negative

(– ). If the LED does not light up when the system is powered on, try reversing the connection. For more information on connecting LEDs to your motherboard, see your motherboard manual.

Note: Polarity (positive and negative) does not matter for switches. There is also no Power LED in this case. The illuminated case fans will turn on when there is power to the computer.
