Solution


The front panel connectors of the MSI B350M Gaming Pro motherboard is a 9-Pin header located along the bottom edge of the mobo, close to the right corner (right beneath that screw mounting hole just below the MSI Chipset in this photo):

It's marked as "JFP1" and its pinout (9-pins) should look like this:

[o][o][o][o][x]
[o][o][o][o][o]

* x = no pin; o = pin

So, with your case's HDD Led, PWR Led, Reset SW, and PWR SW, you plug it in like this...

So, with your case's HDD Led, PWR Led, Reset SW, and PWR SW, you plug it in like this:

PWR Led, (+) at left, (-) at right --> [o][o][o][o][x] <-- PWR SW, (+) and (-) doesn't matter in orientation
HDD Led, (+) at left, (-) at right --> [o][o][o][o][o] <-- Reset SW, (+) and (-) doesn't matter in orientation

The last pin is left unplugged.
