Connecting hdd led lead and power led lead,where do they go ?

The motherboard manual will give you a breakdown of the cast-to-motherboard connections for the board. They differ slightly from board to board, but the connections are almost always found at the bottom front corner of the motherboard. There will be connections for the hard drive LED, the power LED, the power switch, the reset switch, and on some, the speaker (optional). The power switch and the reset switch connectors , 2-pin plugs, are not polarized, meaning that they can be connected to their pins either way without issue. The Power and HDD LED plugs are polarized, as LEDs have a positive and negative. Get this plug backward and the LED won't work. These are also 2-pin plugs. The power LED usually has a green and white wire (Green is +) and the HDD is usually red and white (Red is +) . Some motherboards have color-coded pins -- DO NOT TRUST THEM IF YOU DON'T HAVE A MANUAL -- they are not always standardized. Some motherboards have small print on the board adjacent to the pins to identify them. You CAN trust these. Otherwise, go to the Motherboard manufacturers site and get the manual for the board. The model number is on the board and can be searched for. If the manufacturer's name is not obvious, Google the model number and it will usually lead you to the manufacturer.

if you do not have the manual it's here.

those leads go on pins that are together usually by one edge of the board.They are hard to see but are marked.you should be able to see the reset and power switch quite clearly and if the leads are not lablelled then trace them back to the small reset switch and the power on switch

The manual in question can be located here

It is a pdf file, so you will need ADOBE,
I have checked and the pinout for the front panel connectors is there.

If your power is correct, then the reset leads comes to the 2 pins imm. after the power connection...................sodeep

Hi.

You can download the manual for your motherboard here.

Inside you will find information of where does each connector go. Each connector on the case has a marking on it (HDD, PWR, RST or similar) which stands for hard disk LED, power button, reset button and so on. Connect it to the right place, and problem is solved.

If you need any further assistance, feel free to ask.

You should clarify this a bit more, but please make sure all of your fans are plugged in and the no jumpers are set to over-clock the processor.Also, double check that everything is fundamentally compatible.

The correct wiring plan for this computer is as follows:

Pwr Led Pwr Sw N/C

X X X X O

X X X X X
HDD Rst N/C

Note : N/C = no connection, top row has no pin, bottom row has a pin but not connected.

when you plug in the Pwr Led and HDD connectors, a light should come on, if it doesn't , turn off the pc and turn the connector round on the pins, re -power on your pc.

on most motherboard it is possible to read there to set the wires.
hope this helped a little.

Hi,
It appears your board is made by Jetway.
Heres your link for the manual:-
