Attaching motherboard speaker

[r3drocksr3d]

Hi, can anyone guide me on how to connect the system motherboard speaker to m5a78-lm usb 3 motherboard. Not sure which way it goes round, there are black and red wires on the four pin plug, dont want to damage it, thanks in advance.

+5v is where the red portion of the 4 pin Dupont connector will go.

The speaker can be plugged in either way around. Both ways work the same. I like to have a speaker, so that I can hear a friendly "beep" when the machine boots. Apart from that, it is not used much..... Some BIOS manufacturers use to to "beep" error codes if there is a fault on the motherboard (e.g. like the CPU overheating).
