Case wiring

[mgravy]

I'm stumped on this...

There are 3 leads that connect to the front panel of my Chenbro Genie case. 1) Power Switch 2) Power LED 3) Reset Switch. The Power Switch has a WHITE and GREEN wire -which one is ground and which one is the switch wire? The Power LED has a GREEN and BLACK wire -which of those are ground? The Reset switch has a RED wire and a WHITE wire, again, which one is ground? I can't seem to find any documentation on this anywhere!!

I have always been confused with this because in household wiring "green" is ground and in electronics "black" is usually ground!!

Thanks for the help!!!!!

They are both switches, they don't have polarity. You can plug them in either way.

Hmmmmm -That makes the manual confusing. Why would the mobo jumper diagram show a specific pin # as "switch" and the other pin # "ground" if it doesn't make any difference which way they are oriented? Very weird to me.

The switches don't matter (power and reset), but the LED's do. If you don't get a green power and a orange HDD light (most are this color combo), reverse the connection. In fact you can safely do it while the PC is running (LED's).
