Can you help me identify this cord? Its 7 pins and controls the reset, power switch, and hdd/power leds.I cant seem to find it in Google except for an 8 pin connector that looks similar (see pics). Thank you kindly for any assistance
*EDIT*
Image embedding won't work.. See the imgur link for the exact component

I am not sure where that photo shows, but I suspect it is a small panel on the front of your case because it holds one USB2 connector and 3.5 mm sockets for MIC and SPKR. That is NOT where you normally would connect the case's leads for front panel switches (the four shown in your other photo). Normally those would be plugged into pins of a mobo header usually labeled Panel and located at the bottom right of the mobo. That header usually has 2 rows of 10 pins, and the four leads you show plug into particular pairs on it. Often there's also a fifth set of leads to plug in there, too, for a small speaker mounted in the case. This latter is so you can hear the "beep codes" a mobo generates during POST, and before any sound system is...

But that might be missing in your case if the mobo has its own "beeper" built in.

You have not told us what mobo you have. Look in its manual for the details for the Panel header with labels for which pins to plug which connectors into. If you can't figure it out, post back with your mobo maker and model, and we can look up its manual and advise.

Paperdoc, you are right. This is actually a connector for a front panel controlling a USB hub among other inputs. It actually has no bearing on the power switch. The case was a wirey mess but I came to this conclusion after an hour of cable tracing. Thank you
