Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - Help me diagnose this problem: Rebuilt computer, not booting (even bios)

one thing i think i have done wrong is the F PANEL settings. they are confusing to me.

My power supply has a total of 4 fpanel looking connectors, they are:
Power Led (3 pin)
HD led (2 pin)
Power sw (2 pin)
Reset sw (2 pin)

However on my motherboard fpanel is labeled like this:

Power led
+MSG-
+FW-
+HD-
-res+
NC

So i am not entirely sure which cable matches up with which connection point. I sort of guessed on some of them before and that is likely why my computer is not posting at all and only the fans seem to spin

can you guys help me figure out which goes with which?
