Where does this plug in (new pc build)

HWIZXX

So I can’t figure out where to plug this in and my pc won’t boot without it I think. Anyone know what I’m doing wrong

Sorta yeah...

 

It looks like you have the power switch and pw led plugged into a USB header?

 

What you have in your hands looks unusual being a female connector with male ends sticking out.

Either that pulled the pins out of something or it's an extension for a double ended female USB cable. 

Not entirely sure there.... 

 

What is the make and model of this board? The manual should tell you where everything goes....

Where does does the end of this plug in? This has stumped me for like a week

 

Where does the other end go to? Also you're missing your CR2032 battery for the CMOS. That's kind of important if you don't want to reconfigure your BIOS settings every time the power goes out.

I have never seen any cable like that before... What's it coming from? It's unusual for the actual cable to have the pins, rather than plugging into pins on the motherboard.

I mostly speak from my own past experience from similar problems. My solution may not work for you, but I'll always try my best to help as much as I can. If you want me to see your reply, make sure to quote my comment or mention me @WaggishOhio383, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

There's definitely a battery in there. Look again.

Is this an adapter that came with your case?

It looks like it's going straight to the front panel connectors.

I just don't understand why they would need to adapt the individual connectors to one giant connector... The only reason I can think of is the case itself uses that weird connector for the PLED, Power Switch, HDD LED, Reset switch, etc. Manufacturers like ASUS and MSI might arrange their front panel connector pinouts on the board differently. It's not exactly standard.

Do you have any other cables coming from the front of the case? Just to confirm, that short cable you're holding, did it come with the case or the motherboard?

And do you have a similar bundle of wires inside your case that are also labelled as Power Switch, Power LED, HDD LED, Reset Switch, etc.? It should be around the front of the case.
