Front panel connector issues

[NathanH5]

Hi, you’ve probably have had a lot of these but I can’t seem to get my head around it.

im using an Asus rog strix x570-e and I’m having trouble finding which places I plug the Power SW, Reset SW and the power led + & - since it’s rather unclear in the manual.

So to just clarify  the top row headers are speakers so you can ignore those. and the bottom 2 are your front panel. If you look at you manual the power switch pins are pins 3 and 4 for the top row of the front panel. Which way you plug this in doesn't matter as polarity doesn't matter for switches. For the reset switch it's the header directly below that. The power led is the too row pins 1 and 2 beside the power switch. Knowing other Asus motherboards the polarity  since it matters in this case. The + should be to your left and the the -  to your right. With the HD led directly below that with the same polarity. If the LEDs don't shine on your mobo just reverse the polarity

What I do is try to get the power switch first, then attach the speaker and try to see if it POSTS or turns on. Once you got one right, you guess the others from there. Normally the connectors from the case are labelled so it shouldn't be too difficult trying to get it by trial and error.

Weird that ASUS don't provide a q connector with this MoBo.  Every ASUS ATX board (all Intel-based) I've used had this and it makes things a lot easier to install (particularly for my 72 year old fingers!).
