Hello everyone! I just have a simple, hopefully easy to answer question today. I just purchased a small internal motherboard speaker just in case I ever need assistance with beep codes. It looks a little something like this.

I already know where to put it onto the board, but I am a bit confused about the wiring. It shows a little positive sign above the black wire, but I have always been taught that the colored wire is always positive with it comes to electrical applications. Should I use red or black for the positive side of the connector?
 


I just wanted to note that convention is to attach black to a negative terminal and red to a positive terminal. That most likely would not matter in this case but in some other cases it can result in disaster.
