Located on the very bottom right corner of the board. 

Plug the PWR cable to the two very top right pins on the board connector.

Orientation of the cable connector does not matter. 

Possible stupid question here, but I am trying to connect my ASUS Maximus X Formula MB to my Cooler Master H500M case's power button. I can't find how to do this in my MB manual http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1151/ROG_MAXIMUS_X_FORMULA/E13427_ROG_MAXIMUS_X_FORMULA_UM_WEB.pdf?_ga=2.146811831.1486131050.1533935187-553127753.1531639343

or my case's manual

http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mid-tower/mastercase-h500m/

Can someone give me a page number in either of them to reference?

Would it not be just like any other front panel connector?

This is my first custom build, and my case has a mess of front I/O connectors for RGB fans, sound, usb, stuff idk about, and presumably a power button cord. My MB manual does not explicitly state what connector needs to be attached to it for this purpose. Am I simply looking for the "Front Panel Connector" from the case and "Front Panel Header" on my MB?

The front panel connectors from your case are labelled. HDD LED, PWR LED, etc.

 

Those correspond to the front panel headers on your motherboard. I don't know if your case has all the connectors in one block or if they're all separate wires.

Quote or tag me( @Crunchy Dragon) if you want me to see your reply
