So basically I've taken the mobo from a Lenovo H530s and I've plonked it into this new, much bigger case which I plan to install a GTX 1060 on. Problem is, I cannot figure out where the front I/O cables, laballed "Power SW", " Power LED", and "HDD LED" are supposed to connect into - and as it's a proprietary moboI cannot get any official help. The system powers on fine if I connect the front panel back to it's original switch in the old case but obviously that's notpractical and so l need help trying to connect them.

I'll post pictures down below.
 
Brown ones on the right are USB, so your USB 2.0 header can go there.

The black one appears to only have a use at the factory.

The red one is the audio connector.

There is probably another set of headers hiding somewhere.

Sadly there are many boards to be found in various regional Lenovo devices and many revisions of the same base hardware. So it is hard to give a definite answer.
 
Okay so I was able to connect the power button and its LEDs to the board by trial and error but the reset button, audio jacks and frontal USB 3.0 ports do not work because I don't think my board is able to support it. There is no 3.0 header on the board, only a 2.0. The boards audio header is a different layout to the cases connector and there was no reset button on the original H530s so again there was nothing on the board. None of this is specifically a problem because I can use the USB ports on the back and use a USB headset.

Anyway it's done now so thanks.
