They connect to the JFP1 connectors on the lower right edge of the board. The power LED connects to the 2 and 4 pins, The HDD LED to the 1 and 4 pins, the reset to the 5 and 7 pins and the power switch to the 6 and 8 pins. The pins are numbered up down right to left like this.

With the motherboard in the case and the back of the case away from you the front panel pins are on the front left of the motherboard. They will have simple labels;
PWR power
RST reset
HLED hard dive LED
PLED power LED
You can get it wrong without breaking it so just keep trying until the right buttons and lights work.
Get the user manual here: User Guide Chapter 2 Page 17. The plugs just fit on to little pins in the bottom corner of the board.
If you connect them and hard drive indicator light on the front of the case does not come on then you need to swap the 2 connectors around. It's an led which has to be connected the correct way to work. Same goes for the power led on the front of the case.
I have a MSI motherboard KM2M Combo and I do not know whether I have to necessarily involve the outlet from the power source as the longer the ATX 20 pin power connector (CONN 1) and shorter ATX 12 V Power Connector (JPW 1), or will do, get involved If only the connector CONN 1?Thank you.

the ms, 7xyz series is a relic
all that matters is the size of mobo, to case
ATX or microATX
some or most cases (not oem) do both sizes
and none told by you case , maker and model
but just looking there under mobo shows what screw stub holes are there for both. or not.
the power switch is just 2 pins and easy to rewire.
the manual on both cover all that but no case told.
Hi carlmtclem, your not alone when it comes to hooking up the right led connector to the MSI MB. Firstly, you need to know what wire color is positive & which is negative. Most commonly the color white is ground/negative. Wire colors do vary from case to case. So look at your case led wires. Which ever color is common for each 2-pin connector, is negative. (Except the speaker wire). All other colors are positive. (The speaker wire color for negative is usually black & red is positive). Your MSI board has two separate sets of pins. JFP2 is used for the speaker only. Do not connect the power led there.
Pin one for JFP1 is shown in the manual. Pin 1 is positive & pin 3 is negitive for the HDD-LED, ECT.
Thats it.
Need more information?
Post here.
Good luck carlmtclem!
Thank you for using fixya.

Hi bossman9628A, normally its the wire colors that messes everyone up when trying to connect the front case wires to the motherboard. The MSI RX480 Neo2-F, AKA MS-7151 MB is no different but does use a second set of pins just to help you get more confused. Gather up all your case wires. You'll notice there is one color that is common. Chances are that color is white & is being used for the ground wire. Other colors like blue, green, red, light blue, light green & light red ECT are used for positive. The speaker uses black for ground/negative. So looking at JFP1 at pin 1 is positive +. Pin 3, which is to the right of pin 1 is negative -. The manual does show you which pin is negative & which is positive. Pin 1 = (HD_LED_P). The _P stands for positive. Pin 3 = (HD_LED_N). The _N stands for negative. Do not connect the Power led at JFP2. Keep the power led connected at JFP1. Do connect the case speaker at JFP2. Most cases do use 2-pin connectors but others use 3 & 4 pin connectors. If your case is such you can remove a wire from a connector by using a decent needle. There is a small black tab that you can pull towards your self while pulling the wire out. You can than slide the wire back into the connector where you need it. You'll know the wire is inserted correctly because you'll hear or feel it snap into the connector. If by sme chance you get a led backwards, don't freak out. The leds use 5v DC. Just shut down the system & turn that led 180deg & reconnect it.
Go to the webpage below and scroll down a bit. There will be a picture and list of what connections go where. Good luck.:
