    Welcome to HWF :)

    Connect each front panel plug to these pins:

    HDD LED: HD Blink GRN + and HD Blink YEL. If the HDD LED doesn't light up, then reverse the plug.

    PWR SW: FP BUT IN and GND. The direction of the plug shouldn't matter here.

    RESET: FP Reset and GND. The direction of the plug shouldn't matter.

    PWR LED: HD PWR and HDA. If the power LED doesn't light up, then reverse the plug.
