Im trying to connect the front LED light (power/sleep/message/waiting LED) to the "front panel header" but the pins where the mobo manual tells me to put it does not work with the design. This is so because the front LED has a 3 pin plug thing where as there are only 2 pins available for it....... so do I just stick it in the 2 available pins and just leave that 1 hole vacant?


heres a little diagram i made

2 10 10 - no pin/9 reserved

+ + + +

+ + + + +
1 9

the manual tells me to stick it in pins 2-4, but thats only 2 pins. And it requires 3 pins. Thats where im lost... do i go ahead stick it in the 2 pins anyways?
 
on my led light there is a 3-pin connection with another wire coming off that has a 2-pin connection too, does yours have this? it may no be labeled but just look for the wire coming off of the 3-pin one
 
You can just soder it so that the postive and negative are right next to eachother and you have a slot hanging off the end.
