Hi all,
I just bought a Kingwin KT424 computer case and an Asus P4P800 Deluxe motherboard. I am stuck on trying to determine which wires from the case go where on the motherboard. Specifically, the wires attached to the case as are follows: Power Switch: Grey and White Reset Switch: Blue and White HDD LED: Orange and White Power LED: Green and White Speaker: Black and Red Also of note is that the white and red wires are labeled (C) while the rest of the wires are labeled with a triangle. The C and triangle are meaningless to me. The questions is, which wire is the ground wire for each connector? I am thinking white but I want to be certain before I put the power switch on backwards and fry my motherboard. Thanks in advance! |

The Power and Reset switches are momentary contact, normally open, switches. It dosen't make any difference which way the wires are attached. The LED wires must be attached with the right polarity or the LED's will not light. If they don't light up when they should, just reverse the wires.

switches doesn`t matter , just plug it in , it`s only for your case
buttons.... If the LED`s don`t work , turn the plug around... speaker doesn`t matter, polarity won`t matter for that speaker...forget about it , use external ones..... Brett....
