It doesn't matter which way round you connect the power and reset buttons.

The LEDs need to be connected the right way.

Positive is often marked on the connector with what looks like a small triangle.

Negative wires are usually black but I think I've seen white used.

But there'll be no harm done if they're connected in reverse. If they don't work then just reverse them.

I just the "Q Connector " that came with my ASUS mobo when i did all my "power n reset " buttons ...but to be honest....they are so tiny i couldn't even see what it said on any of them anyway ...but all seemed fine and dandy
