Lian-Li wiring question

[Guest]

I purchased a Lian-Li PC-2100 server chassis for an Athlon64 installation;
most things have gone in easily, but I'm confused about the wiring for the
power switch configuration. I'm using a Gigabyte MB which describes the
orientation of the connector based upon the pins on the mobo as being +
and -. But the diagram included with the PC-2100 only describes the
two-wire power switch lead as 'green' and 'white' (which from visual
inspection it is), with no reference as to which wire is positive and
negative.

So my question is: does anyone know which one is which? Lian-Li's online
tech support sucks (I can't get it to upload my question), so I figure I
might as well ask around the usenet. I don't want to damage the motherboard
or the FX-55 the first time I power the system up, and although I don't know
if getting this mixed up really will hurt anything, I also don't want to
take any chances after spending $1100 on the MB and CPU. TIA.

It doesn't matter which way round you connect the power switch. It will
matter which way round you connect the lead for the case leds, although you
won't do any damage if you get it wrong, the leds just won't come on.

On my Lian li cases the front connectors go on with the writing facing up.
I'd put them all in the same direction and if you get no leds, reverse them.
Like the previous person said, you won't harm anything
