Quick front panel connection question

[Daniel_green13]

So I'm building my first PC, all is going well but my front panel connectors are in 1 block, as opposed to split into lots of little connectors like I see in every video!

 

I've attached a picture of what I think is my front panel connector and where it should go (JFP1). Can anyone confirm that this is correct? And why are mine in 1 block when most seem to be split up?

 

Case: NZXT H700i

Mobo: MSI z270 carbon gaming

 

Thanks!

Your connectors are in one block because it's easier to manage than having them all split up. Honestly, more cases should be doing this by now. Those connectors are a real pain.

 

Going by the pins, I would say you're meant to plug that onto the JFP1 header.

@Crunchy Dragon Thanks! Yes I agree, it just seemed too easy compared to everything I've seen before.

One could say it's supposed to be hard...

Related to this, can I safely remove these connectors from the block and place them individually on the motherboard? I'd like to leave out the power button white LED because it's driving me crazy.
