misosoup7 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Hi, Second time builder here but first time with a Corsair case :P. Had a few question on how to connect the front panel indicators and power switches to the mother board. I have a Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD7 TH LGA 1150 Z97 Dual Thunderbolt 2 ATX Motherboard. I noted that the Power light connectors were separated and labeled by polarity PLED+ and PLED-. Easy enough. Now the the HDD Indicator light, the power switch, and reset switch are all two pin plugs. On the motherboard they are labeled with + and - polarities, does it matter which way I plug the cables in? If yes, how do I tell which side is - and which side is + on those plugs? I noted that one side has a small triangle marking, is that the negative side? Thanks, Mike Edit: Found this little guide. Wanted to know if the Corsair case followed the same convention. http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/s/spc.htm Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Yes it does matter for the L.E.Ds only (Power and HDD Indicator) If i remember correctly, the triangle indicates positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misosoup7 Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 Thanks Toasted! Yes, the triangle was indeed the positive, and the darker colored cable was also the positive. Only one of the cables had the white/black cable = negative scheme and that was the LED cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
