Case wiring

I'm stumped on this...

There are 3 leads that connect to the front panel of my Chenbro Genie case. 1) Power Switch 2) Power LED 3) Reset Switch. The Power Switch has a WHITE and GREEN wire -which one is ground and which one is the switch wire? The Power LED has a GREEN and BLACK wire -which of those are ground? The Reset switch has a RED wire and a WHITE wire, again, which one is ground? I can't seem to find any documentation on this anywhere!!

I have always been confused with this because in household wiring "green" is ground and in electronics "black" is usually ground!!

Thanks for the help!!!!!

Hmmmmm -That makes the manual confusing. Why would the mobo jumper diagram show a specific pin # as "switch" and the other pin # "ground" if it doesn't make any difference which way they are oriented? Very weird to me.
 
The switches don't matter (power and reset), but the LED's do. If you don't get a green power and a orange HDD light (most are this color combo), reverse the connection. In fact you can safely do it while the PC is running (LED's).
