I have an HP Pavilion Series desktop PC. However, the PSU fried, so I bought an EVGA 850 G2 Gold Series PSU from Amazon. The PSU is too big for my HP case, so I bought a Raidmax Computer Case ATX-403WB. This case comes with a whole bunch of LED light connectors and other connectors I am not familiar with. Also, I do not know where to plug these connectors in to my motherboard. My motherboard is a HP Pavilion p7-1380t CTO Desktop PC
which the H-Joshua-H61-uATX (Joshua).

I contacted HP however my warranty is up and they want to charge me for tech support. Also, they will not give me the manual for my motherboard so I am unable to see what plugs into where.

Your help would be greatly appreciated in figuring out where to plug these front panel connectors from my case into my motherboard.

Connectors from case:
Power SW
Reset SW
HDD LED
Power LED -
Power LED +

Labels or not, the pins should be the same. You can't damage anything even if you don't connect a front panel connector on the correct pin; they are not keyed for that reason. A LED connector may have to be inverted if the LED isn't lit. First one to identify and test is Power; then Power LED, Reset, etc. If need be, trial and error also works, but it's a bit time consuming.
Thank you very much for this, I greatly appreciate your help. However, the plugins on my motherboard are not labeled like the photo, so I am not sure what goes where :/
