If you'd rather not have bits blinking away at you in the darkness, then by all means leave the LED connectors out. Say hello to your front panel cables: USB3 (far left), front panel (centre left), speaker (centre right) and USB2 (far right). As you can imagine, these are the corresponding connectors for the power button (and its corresponding LED light if your case has one), reset switch and your HDD light. You'll notice that each little plastic bit has something written on it, like HDD LED+, HDD LED -, PLED+, PLED- and RST SW and PWR SW. Once you've located the system panel connector, it's time to find the corresponding headers coming out of your case - these are tiny little wires with thin plastic tubes on the end of them, and should be dangling somewhere on the right hand side of your case, possibly tucked away in a drive bay somewhere. On the whole, though, you're looking for something like this: If you squint, you can see tiny, tiny letters saying + PWR LED and + HDD LED on the motherboard's very lower edge underneath all those pins in the bottom right corner.

The writing that labels where it is on the motherboard itself is usually pretty tiny, so it may be more useful to consult your motherboard manual to help you find it. This is where you'll be connecting some of your case's front panel controls like the power button. You may want to employ the use of a torch/headlamp or magnifying glass for this part, as you'll need to find the location of your system panel connector on your motherboard. Step 1: All right, let's get the worst bit out of the way first. It's time to connect up your system panel connector and all your case cables to all the teeny tiny metal prongs dotted around your motherboard. And by fun, I mean, excruciatingly awful and needlessly fiddly.
