Hello, just finished rebuilding my system into a IN WIN 901 case. Everything is working great on my new build, but I can't get the IN WIN led logo to light up.. I am confused about how to properly connect the I/O wires to my ASUS P8-H77-I motherboard system panel.


A layout of my motherboard's 10-1 pin system panel connector can be found here:

There are female spots for power led, power switch, hdd led, and reset.


There are two "power led" wires (one 2-pin and one 3-pin), one 2-pin "power sw" wire, and one 2-pin "hdd led" wire. An explanation about how to properly arrange the cases I/O wires to this panel would be greatly appreciated! This case is a beauty and I'd love to have a functioning logo light. Note: the 3-pin power led only has two wires.

Part of my confusion is that there is no "reset" wire, since there is no reset button on my case. Does one of the "power LED" wires plug into these pin holes??

Thanks for your help, this case is a beauty and I'd love to have the In Win logo lit up.
 
The two "power led" connectors are for flexibility, some mobos have the pins next to each other, and some put in a gap. You would use the two-pin lead for your board. Likely that is also your logo LED.

The three pin power LED lead doesn't need to be connected, you can tuck it away with no issues.
 
I have the InWin 901 and it took me weeks to figure out what was "wrong" with my LED logo on the front of the case. I must of plugged and unplugged the case LED wire 15 times before I had the idea of flipping the direction in which the wire was plugged in (the one connector that will not damage if flipped). Turns out that the makers of the InWin cases make those wires backwards to what the majority of people think is the right way to connect things together.
