Hi,
On your motherboard power is setup like so:

10 9 8 7 6 (no pin on 6)
1 2 3 4 5

1- HD_LED_P
2- HD_LED_N
3- RST_SW_N
4- RST_SW_P
5- RSVD
6- No pin
7- PWR_SW_N
8- PWR_SW_P
9- FP PWR/SLP
10- FP PWR/SLP

you have 5 connectors from the chassis' front (with cable colors):
-P LED (white)
+P LED (green)
HDD LED (yellow/white)
RESET (white/blue)
POWER (orange/white)

You just insert cables according to these nos. Do this job carefully that's why i am giving you full details about cable and its colors.

Regards

Ashly

Transferring motherboard from Gateway SX2801-07E to another case. How do I connect the motherboard front panel headers?

Identify the headers: Locate the front panel headers on the new case and on the motherboard. Make sure that you have identified the correct headers and that they are compatible with each other.
Check the pinout: Refer to the manual for the new case to determine the pinout for the front panel headers. Make sure that it matches the pinout listed for the motherboard, as mentioned above.
Connect the wires: Use the pinout information to connect the wires from the new case to the appropriate pins on the motherboard. Make sure that each wire is securely connected and that there are no loose wires that could cause a short circuit.
Connect the HDD LED: The HDD LED can be connected to pins 13 and 14 of the front header (LEDH1).
Connect the power LED: The power LED can be connected to pins 3 and 4 of the front header (LEDH1).
Connect the reset switch: The reset switch can be connected to pins 7 and 8 of the front header (LEDH1).
Connect the power switch: The power switch can be connected to pins 10 and 11 of the front header (LEDH1).

Make sure that you connect the wires correctly and securely, as an incorrect connection can cause damage to the motherboard or the front panel components.

Dell Asus M2N61-AX MB front panel connector Nix ATX Gaming case

I assume you mean the HDD,reset,on switch etc where they plug onto the mobo.

Most mobos are labelled on the board but you will need good eyesight to read. They are labelled HDD, RESET, SPEAKER etc.

If not simply look up mobo manual from vendors site. You will need the DELL serial / part number from the old unit though.
