I have a problem. I found a pc case next to a neighbours garbage and it's actually really good so I was gonna use it. It has the regular reset power and hdd light switches but on my motherboard there isn't those plugs. Instead there is one 7 pin connecter wich in the old case I just plugged in and it worked. First I thought it just wasn't possible but then someone built a Windows 98 machine into a brand new case and I was confused. Is there like a special way I can plug the power reset and hdd light plugs in so it works?
