properly???
[s]Your picture is tiny. Can’t make out anything from it.[/s]
Those are front panel connectors. You wire them according to your motherboard manual. If you don’t have the manual it can be found on the manufacturer’s website.
Well if i’m not wrong then this is for HDD.Power LED,Speaker, Mic.
Well if you check carefully then u’ll see just naked pin close to each
other and on board written same as written on you hand cable so
just plug it in with the name by name.
Pls w8 for an minute, because ima trying to get it to full image size.
What’s your motherboard model?
I tried to find the manual but i found nothing, do you have any idea how to connect this1?!?

Oh that’s a much better picture. You can see how it should be wired on the second picture.
Red – Power
Blue – Reset
Green – Power LED
Orange – HDD LED. If the HDD LED doesn’t work correctly you’re connecting it in reverse.
but power LED has 3 little holes for 3 pins. :/
PS add me on skype if you have: nemanja_djurcic
Cut the connector in half. Yes! Do it!
how to cut it when it has 3 holes for pins?
Cut it in half and insert them someway so that it fits. Come on you can do it. The middle isn’t needed.

@OP: You can also simply not connect it at all, it doesn’t really matter.
The power led doesn’t go onto that PANEL1 connector, it is usually a separate connector so don’t cut anything! That connector in the picture is only for the Hdd led, Pwr button and reset switch.
Or use a pin to reconfigure the POWER LED plug:

Move green wire in middle, connect plug so that yellow wire in on pin 4.
It is only an LED so if you put it in the wrong way around it won’t matter.

No, -paroxysM^ is correct here. The green one is the power LED.

I’ve never worked on a motherboard that had a separate pinout area for the power LED.

Yes the lead with the green wire the Pwr Led but it doesn’t connect to PANEL1!, read the info to the left of the connector, there is no Power LED on that connector. See for yourself, his board connections are similar to mine and the Pwr Led is a separate connector and like this (on pg 22 & 27):

The power LED connector is next to the Panel header and is a three pin connector with the middle one with n/c on the lead which is what his Pwr Led lead looks like.
It looks like the Pwr Led connector could be immediately in front of Panel1, it’s difficult to tell from that photo but there looks to be a 3 pin header there although it’s difficult to make out.
Personally I never use the MSG connection, I use the Pwr LED connection instead because it matches my case Pwr LED lead (3 pin) and it seems to do the same thing.
-paroxysM^ & Mighty_Marvel you are both right.
The Power LED and MSG connection are essentially the same. The three pin connection allows for a sleep state to be indicated if the case supports this. It is common to cut or reconfigure the power LED connector if only the two pin MSG connection is available.
However in this case the motherboard has a three pin connector available, as Mighty_Marvel pointed out, labelled SJ1 just to the left of the PANEL connections.

OK here is the thing: When i pres power button my computer starts but it wont even show me bios => can’t log on => can’t use it, wtf????
What have you connected? I wouldn’t connect everything until it has booted to the Bios and the temperature can be checked.
All you need is the CPU, 1 stick of Ram, heatsink and videocard unless there is onboard video available. Your jumping the gun adding more than that from the start. Try re-seating the video card and check that all the power connectors are where they should be including any to the video card. Connect the case speaker and listen for beep codes.
