Help! I don't know where to put my front I/O connectors!

[steVENOM]

I'm a new builder and I've got 3 cables coming out of the front of my chassis here and I'm not sure what they all connect to, can I get some help?

Consult your motherboard manual for detailed instructions.

Also, that third pic is fan connectors. Presumably they are connected to your case's fan controller. If that is the case, then you do not need to plug them into the motherboard.

Thanks I got everything plugged in I believe, I'm a little uneasy about the reset connection though. How's this look to you?

No, they don't look right.

 

POWER_SW and RESET are switches, it doesn't matter if you insert them the right way or upside down, there's not positive and negative. But you do have to insert them correctly, Looks like you put the connectors vertically while they should be horizontally, see picture below. 

The LEDs have to be inserted correctly, + and - matter. If you put it the other way around the leds simply won't turn on.

PS. I'd skip connecting the speaker (if you even have one), it's just annoying most of the time.

Yeah those little connectors where most annoying because it is so small and i have big hands like donald trump (inside joke)

Ah, see I was contemplating that when I was inserting it lol, I had a 50/50 chance

How's this?

[mariushm]

Seriously, are you trolling now? LOOK AT THE PICTURE AND THE RECTANGLES I MADE, each rectangle has different color, which means different connector.

 

The four pins at the top right of that connector are for the SPEAKER. You may not have a speaker on your case, in which case leave those 4 top pins alone, unused.

The two bottom right pins are for the RESET switch, the two pins to the left of the RESET switch are for the POWER switch.

Oooooh my bad, I switched it. And it doesn't matter which reset cord is on which side of the bottom? Because they're both labeled Reset SW

Polarity of the switch does not matter

Ok, then I think I'm all set for my I/O connectors?

Yes assuming you got the fans plugged in.
