I have a Foxconn 6150BK8MC-KRSHN2 motherboard, and i am trying to connect the Power LED connector from the case onto the mobo's pin header. Problem is that the mobo only has two pins for the power LED, but the case's connector has 3 pins (2 outer holes have leads, the middle hole is empty). How do i go about this? IIRC, most cases used to come with both a 3 pin and a 2 pin, right? I don't see a 2 pin connector in my case for the Power LED.

Thanks.

If the LED only has 2 leads, then it is a Single Color LED ... most likely
Red .. possibly Green ... just hook it up to the power led connector on
the mobo with the computer turned on .. if it is correct the led will light.
If you have the polarity backward, it will not light
