Multiple HDD LED wires in case; cannot manke any light up HDD LED in Epox 8KHA+

[ken]

I have an Antec 1600 case that has three identical HDD LED wires from
the front panel. I have tried to hook up each one and then run a
directory list in DOS to hit the hard drive. (Windows not yet
installed). The mobo is an Epox 8KHA+ that appears to have on J3 a
five pin conn then space then a two pin IDE conn and a two pin Turbo
conn followed by a space and then two pin Power conn. There is NO
space between the IDE and Turbo pins. I cannot get any of the LEDs to
light up the front light. Any ideas?

Just stating what may not be too ovious, but did you try reversing the
connector on the LED's ? While you will not burn one out or harm them if it
is hooked up backwards, it will not light up .
