Wireing dieagram for front on off switch
You will find (normally in the bottom right) 2 rows of pins sticking out of the motherboard. Some of these will have connections to them with wires coming out and going to the front of your cumputer. Look for a free space usually about 2 or 3 pins, marked PWR, O/I or PSW. Alternatively it may be color coded Blue or Green is usually the color for the power switch. I have attached a picture of an e machine motherboard showign the location of the connections
One of hte pins might be marked with a + this can be ignored if you are just connecting the power switch.
SOURCE: i have a e-machine T-2885 that had the wires pulled out
most of the time there is a key although it may be feint directly below the pins for the power button wires showing exactly where they need to go if not you can search for a diagram on the motherboard manufacturers website
Testimonial: "very good, thanks, i know about the key but its not readable so next step i guess would be to seek out the motherboard manufacturor. thanks"
