Hello,
The Front Panel connector is in the lower right corner if you view the MB with the CPU at the top. There are 4 pins on top of the connector and 5 on the bottom. It should be labeled
F_PANEL. The connections are:
(PWRLED)
Top Row first: Power LED +
Top Row second: Power LED -
(PWRBTN)
Top Row third: Power Button
Top Row fourth: Power Button Gnd.
(HDLED)
Bottom Row first: HD LED +
Bottom Row second: HD LED -
(RESET)
Bottom Row third: Reset Gnd.
Bottom Row fourth: Reset
Bottom Row fifth: No Connection
The pdf manual will not allow me to copy and paste info so I will lead you to the manual so you will have it to help solve this problem and perhaps future ones.
Go to this site:

In the upper left it has a search box that says "Input Model to Search".
Type in your model number. Click on
Search Info.
A verification page will come up. Click on the model number link. You will then get a small window to select your operating system. Do so. Click Search.
You will get a list of available downloads with Manual at the bottom. Click the little + next to Manual. Scroll down to the appropriate language manual. (I assume English. It is the next to last one listed.)
Click on Global (DLM) or Global or China. A download window will open. Select SAVE. Choose the folder to save it to. (My Documents will do.)
When the download is complete click OPEN FOLDER on the download window. The file should be highlighted. Double click on the file to extract the pdf file from the zip file. Once opened, SAVE it as the pdf file where you will be able to reference it in the future.
The front panel connector pinout is on page 1-35.
