Connect the Front I/O Power Switch / LED and USB

When connecting the power LED, ensure correct polarity otherwise the light will not illuminate. The orientation/polarity of the power on/off switch (PSW) is not 
important and can be ignored, and the connectors are individual to allow for motherboards that use a 3 Pin layout. A reset switch is not included, but holding down 
the power button for 5 seconds usually serves the same function. Drive activity is also not included, this is a legacy feature we have chosen to omit. 

The 19 PIN USB3.0 connector is polarised and will only connect in the correct orientation. A planned optional upgrade for USB3.1 Gen2 will be made available in 
the form of a new USB cable which can be installed by removing the 2 Hex screws securing the Type-C connector to the front I/O, then fitting the new cable. Both 
the Switch / LED PCB and the USB Cable can be rotated 180 degrees on the front I/O to route the cables in the opposite direction if there if you have a 
requirement for that in your specific build.

Motherboard layout and pinout shown are for illustrative purposes only, these will vary between model and manufacturer, so please check the supplied user guide 
for exact connection details.
