need help with the case wires

[cheese321]

Hi, i already installed every component for my first build. The only things left are the wires that come from the case. I have a coolermaster centurion 5 case and a gigabyte p35 motherboard. I am really confused as to where I put these wires.

On the mobo by the F_PANEL, there are MSG, HD, PW, RES, and NC
To the left of that I see PWR_LED and CI.

For the wires from my case, I already installed the PWR SW to the PW (2-pins) and the RES SW. to the RES (2-pins)

That leaves MSG (2-pin), HD (2-pin), and NC (1-pin) open and to the left of that PWR_LED (2-pin) and CI (3-pin) open also.

For the wires that I still didn't plug in are H.D.D. LED and + (plus) and - (minus). Can anyone tell me where I connect these to the open pins that I mentioned?

I plugged in the 4-pin Speaker connector to the SPEAK pins on the F_PANEL. Please confirm that this is correct.

I also had another set of wires that were AC'97 and HD AUDIO and also 10 single different color connectors. For this set I connected the AC'97 connector to the F_AUDIO. Please confirm that this is correct and any info on where I plug the rest, if I even have to. I don't have a sound card.

These wires are the only thing left until I turn on the computer. Thanks in advance!!!

Read the hardware installation section in your manual. There should be a diagram for those. Also, be sure which AUDIO your board is using.

The H.D.D. LED goes to the HD pins on the F_PANEL. You should still have the PWR LED wires to connect up...this one goes to the PWR_LED pins on the F_PANEL. If the LEDs don't light up, just flip the connector 180 degrees.

That's correct.

You'd have to consult the motherboard manual about the sound connections. The motherboard does have on-board sound so you don't need a sound card.

You didn't assemble the parts outside of the case and try for POST yet?
