Step 9 Connect Cables
When attaching connectors to the motherboard, make sure you attach the correct end. Most connector wires are color-
coded. Match the color of the wires leaving pin 1 on the switch or LED to pin 1 on the connector end. There may be
more than one connector with the same color-coded wires. If so, follow the wire to the switch or LED.
Pin 1 of all connectors is labeled on the following graphic and the motherboard. Sometimes the label is obscured by a part.
You can always identify Pin 1 by looking at the other side of the motherboard. All Pin 1 locations are always
identified by a square pad.
