power led is for the case power led. it the only one other then the hard drive led that has (+) (-) side for the led.
if it not on right the led wont turn on. the power and reset just have to go on the right pins. on the f-Panel header.
pin one and two bottom row left. hard drive led then next to it is reset.
the last three pins for power led.
top row 3-4 pin from left is on switch.

Power SW is for the switch to turn the system on. It's not +- since all it does is short the 2 pins to turn it on. The Power LED is +- since it gives DC power to turn on the LED of your case. LEDs are polarity sensitive.

Reset switch is the same. Just shorts the pins to reset the motherboard. So no polarity. All you need to do is take a paperclip or pair of needle nose pliers and short the 2 pins together for a second to turn the system on. The Power SW is the one you are wanting to use.
