So I have successfully moved my Dell Inspiron 3847 Motherboard into an NZXT S340 with no problems except one: The computer does not POST at all using the S340 front panel connectors. I know where the correct pins because the system turns on just fine but no display so I am assuming its not posting.
I took the power button and wire from the Dell case and put it on the pins and now the computer POSTs and boots. The downside is, the wire is just sitting in my case an I cannot shut-down my computer, only put it to sleep.
Some pictures to help my situation:

Note that the S340 only comes with a HDD LED wire, Power Switch wire, + and - PLED wire and not every pin is used.
My question: What can I do to make my computer post and use the S340 power button without buying a new mobo since its OEM. Sorry for long post.
