ASUS A8N-SLI case connector cables

I can't tell from the manual which way the cables that connect to your case wires go (i.e. System power LED, HD activity, Speaker).

Should the writing that is on the cable connectors be facing out to the edge of the mobo or facing inwards? I have them facing outside and I wanted to make sure this was correct before trying to power on.

It tells you on page 2-29 of the manual which pins are positive. In that the power on and reset are only momentary contact, it doesn't matter. The HD + pin matters, and the power led needs the correct color pinout.

Yeah, I know it tells me which ones are positive but I can't tell from looking at my cable connectors which ones are positive. I was looking for a red wire for positive like you normally see but they are like green, white, blue, etc...

I think I have them backwards. The speaker confused me cause it has blue and red but I think that the blue is the positive in this case instead of the red (and the color is positive on each of the others where the ground is white). Is this correct?

The colored wire is positive, with white/black negative.

Thanks. I did have it wrong initially.
