Hi all,

I just bought a Kingwin KT424 computer case and an Asus P4P800 Deluxe
motherboard. I am stuck on trying to determine which wires from the
case go where on the motherboard.

Specifically, the wires attached to the case as are follows:

Power Switch: Grey and White
Reset Switch: Blue and White
HDD LED: Orange and White
Power LED: Green and White
Speaker: Black and Red

Also of note is that the white and red wires are labeled (C) while the
rest of the wires are labeled with a triangle. The C and triangle are
meaningless to me.

The questions is, which wire is the ground wire for each connector? I
am thinking white but I want to be certain before I put the power switch
on backwards and fry my motherboard.

Thanks in advance!

The Power and Reset switches are momentary contact, normally open, switches.
It dosen't make any difference which way the wires are attached. The LED
wires must be attached with the right polarity or the LED's will not light.
If they don't light up when they should, just reverse the wires.

switches doesn`t matter , just plug it in , it`s only for your case
buttons....
If the LED`s don`t work , turn the plug around...
speaker doesn`t matter, polarity won`t matter for that speaker...forget
about it , use external ones.....
