    L.E.D had polarity, if it don't works then flip it around...the wording face the other way. those sw had no polarity so no concern.....

    What do you mean by Polarity and how does that have to do with the Power and Reset switch?

    LED had positive and negative pole. only light when voltage is applied in the positive pole....so if reverse then no light because it is actually a diode...where current flow on single way only.......

    power and reset sw are just basically contacts only....when depress the contact are just close to send a trigger signal only....

    i had always use a screwdriver just to on the com. this way....

    as for the led, just had to know which is positive or negative will do or just flip around when it doesn't

    Thanks for the information AMDnewbie. Can you click on the links to the pictures that I have provided and tell me if I should flip the front connectors around for the HDD and SYSTEM LED? It's kinda weird to have connectors facing two different connectors. One's facing up and the others down. I'm scared to try it because I'm afraid it'll damage the connectors or the motherboard. If enough people can verify it, I will do it. Thanks.

    On page 59 of the users manual, it shows a chart of the connections. The power LED + voltages are on pins 2 or 4 of the header connector The HDD LED + voltage is on pin 3. Normally the colored wire in the connector is + and the all white wire is ground. You need to match the colored wire to the plus pin for each connector. The pins are numbered from right to left with the odd numbers at the top and the even numbers at the bottom.

    Since the switches do not have a plus or minus side you can leave them as it is or flip them around also if having writing on one side bothers you.
