Help needed booting server motherboard

I just bought a Dell Poweredge R410 Dual Socket motherboard off eBay. With it, two X5670 Xeons as well as 4x4 DDR3 ECC RAM. My power supply is an Antec that supplies 450W. I looked around the board and was unable to find anything to plug my power switch cable into. There is a front panel connector with tons of pins, but not labeled. My understanding is that with the server, the front panel was included and that was used to turn on the motherboard. Do I need this front panel, or could I just cheat and try all the different positions for the power switch? Is there any solution or will this just not work at all.

 

Thank you in advance!

Check the users manual. The Internet can help you if you can't find a hard copy of one. Don't try the pins by guessing. You might short something (that's what the power button do)

Try taking out the bios battery, it should turn on when plugged in, then go in the bios and set it to turn on when plugged in. 

 

You could also just order the front panel header.

 

In the future id just get the whole server with these boards, they need the other parts to work right and aren't atx normally.
