How to Install Case Switches into Motherboards

On behalf of Expert Village.com my name is Luke and I'm with Friendly Computers and I'm here to show you on how to install power supply. Now what your going to want to do basically every case has it's set up cables. It has power switch, power LAD, hard drive LAD and depending on the case sometimes a reset switch. Now your going to want to find the port they go into every motherboard is different your going to want to find the manual that came with your motherboard that tells you where to plug in everything. Basically with this motherboard generally with motherboards actually it's color coated a little bit. The green switch is normally power LAD depending on the case your going to want to plug in right into the green, the yellow switch is generally hard drive LAD, you want to plug that in there. The purple is reset switch and red is power switch. Now if your case has front USB on it your going to want find that cable generally it will be something like this sometimes they're all individual pins in which this case will need to go to your motherboard manual to look it up where you want to plug it in. In this case your going to want to make sure the ground is facing up they way it gets plug in right. Just want to plug it into the port, now depending on the motherboard the ports will be in different places. You will need your motherboard manual a lot depending on how much you know, how much the layout is, if you already had it plugged in, in one point before you unplug everything make sure you map it all out cause sometimes the motherboard manual isn't as helpful as it could be. Now sound is always different cords on it are always labeled something else, so basically you just going to need to find a way to get that through, might need help, if you need help you can always contact any computer repair shops or even a technician maybe if it's Tech support cause sometimes the motherboard manual has it labeled differently than that what the pins are on the case. And depending on the case sometimes it'll have cord like this attached to it which is generally just a light that is optional you don't have to plug it in.
