I hope this is something lost in translation. The title says momentary, but the diagram in the images is a bit misleading to me. 

 

Double check with a multi-meter, but it appears you would hook the power switch up to the green and black wires. You should be able to see the switch open and close on those wires with the meter when you press the button to double check this (in ohms, or continuity mode). 

 

*Edit* one of the reviews mentions the image, and does say they are actually momentary.

A PC power button is nothing more than a momentary switch that connects the two power button pins together while it's held in. That's why starting a motherboard by touching a metal key or screwdriver tip to them works.

 

You need to figure out which two wires on the button act as the momentary switch, then connect that to your motherboard's front panel header on the power switch pins. 

 

There are going to be a couple more wires on the button that make its LEDs light up. It probably needs 12 volts, which you can grab from a 4-pin Molex connector. Then the button will light up so long as your PC is running.
