I got a TJ04 case from a friend. I did not get a manual and looking at
the Silverstone site there may not be any.
The wiring in TJ04 are not terminated with multi-wire connectors. I am
finding it a bit difficult to figure out where individual wires need
to be attached.
I looked around on Internet to see if there are any photographs or
graphic guides, so far I could not find any.
Anybody on this forum that may be aware of site sites?
Alternately can anyone recommend a course of action for me please?
A list of TJ04's wiring labels and my MSI P43 NE03 are here:

The "manual" is pretty crappy.

Looks like pretty standard stuff.

Wiring of the Silverstone TJ04
L-OUT
R-OUT
L-RET <----- Not used, since motherboard uses HDaudio sound
R-RET <----- Not used, since motherboard uses HDaudio sound
GROUND
GROUND
MIC POWER
MIC-IN
JAUD1
MIC-IN ---------> MIC_L X X GND ------------- one or both GROUND wires
MIC-Power <--------- MIC_R X X NC
L-OUT <-------Lineout_R X X (Jack_Detect_Return_via_resistor_gnd)
(Jack_Detect_Send) X (no pin)
R-OUT <-------Lineout_L X X (Jack_Detect_Return_via_resistor_gnd)
If properly designed, the GROUND signal on the above two cables, will
be joined inside the front panel of the Silverstone case. Connect
one GROUND, then test both the headphones and microphone jack. If
both work, you're done. If one of the two jacks does not work (and
you've eliminated problems with control panel settings or mixer
settings), then you'll need to electrically join the two GROUND
wires, where they connect to the GND pin on the above header.
Normally, you'd be connected wires to five pins on JAUD1. The other
Jack Detect and Presence stuff, is not used. Only a few computer
cases have a full implementation of HDaudio, and the five wire
subset is the most common thing you'll find.
-----------------
This one is USB. There are two USB interfaces on one 2x5 header.
One set goes on one side, the other set goes on the other side.
1 GROUND
1 +D
1 -D
1 VCC
VCC ---> VCC X X VCC <--- VCC
D- ---> USB0- X X USB1- <--- D-
D+ ---> USB0+ X X USB1+ <--- D+
GROUND --> GND X X GND <--- GROUND
(No pin) X NC (no connect)
-----------------
This set is Firewire. The manual I'm looking at, says
Firewire is optional, and I don't know if your motherboard
includes it or not. Firewire is also known as IEEE 1394.
TPA +
TPB -
VP
TPA -
TPB +
VG
SHIELD
J1394_1
TPA+ TPA+ X X TPA- TPA-
Ground X X Ground VG
TPB+ TPB+ X X TPB- TPB-
Cable_power X X Cable_power VP
(no pin) X X Ground SHIELD
I do not recommend wiring this up. If the motherboard
has a Firewire (1394a) connector in the I/O area, use it instead.
Firewire devices are expensive, so a wiring error on this
port can result in expensive damage (camcorder, firewire audio).
Normally, a couple VP and VG wires might be used, to
better carry the Firewire bus power when needed.
What I do when wiring front panel Firewire, is use a multimeter
to at least verify which Firewire connector pins on the front
panel, are connected to VP or VG pins. You can screw up the TPxx
(data) pins without much chance of hurting something, but
getting some power wiring wrong (VP,VG) could spell trouble
for an expensive Firewire device.

PAIRS OF COLORED WIRES TERMINATED WITH TWO-HOLE CONNECTORS:
POWER SW
-P LED
+P LED
HDD LED
RESET SW
Use JFP1 for Power LED, HDD LED, Power Switch, Reset Switch.
The polarity of Power Switch and Reset Switch doesn't matter.
They can be rotated either way. The two LEDs have a polarity
requirement. If the LED won't light, simply turn off the power
and rotate the connector to reverse the polarity. If the LED
polarity is not marked, I'd assume the white wire is (-),
while the non-white wire is (+).
JFP1
HDD_LED (+) X X Power_LED
HDD_LED (-) X X Power_LED
Reset_Switch __/ X X \__ Power_Switch
\ X X /
(make no connection) X (no pin)
The only time the switch polarity would matter, is if
the body of the switch was part of the electrical circuit.
Computer cases usually have plenty of plastic around
the switches, such that there is no way for them to
do anything other than float electrically. Thus, the
polarity doesn't matter.
Since MSI refuses to put a nominal label for polarity
for the power switch, you can try the first time with
(+) on the top right pin. I expect MSI is implying
that a bicolor LED is to be connected to the header,
but not every case will be using one of those. They
should at least have marked the header with a (+) and (-).
If the span of the Power LED connector on the Silverstone
twisted wire is three pins wide, use JFP2 for the Power LED
connection. If the span of the Power LED is only two pins,
you can use the location on JFP1.
If the computer case has a Speaker cable (for the system beep),
you can connect that to JFP2. Speakers normally float, and
polarity should not matter, but since MSI has marked the
polarity on the diagram, you can follow it. If there is
no (+) and (-) on the SPKR connector, assume the white
wire is (-) and the non-white wire is (+).
-----------------
SINGLE wIRE THAT IS TERMINATED WITH A THREE-HOLE CONNECTOR LEADING TO THE FAN ON THE FRONT PANEL.
Connect the fan wire to SYSFAN1, as it is near the
front of the computer case. SYSFAN2 can be used for
a rear fan. CPUFAN1 is used for the CPU fan. Either
a three pin or four pin CPU cooler can be used. The
plastic tab on each header, will guide the insertion
of the plug. It should only (easily) fit one way.
