Question Power Button Isn’t a Power Button (It Changes Case Lights)?

[incmachine]

Just finished a Ryzen build using the Apevia Destiny Mid-Tower Case:

https://www.apevia.com/products-cases/destiny-flow-bk



There is a problem with the Front Panel connectors, which I have never seen before.

Here are the Front Panel Connectors coming from the case:

HDD LED
Power LED (One Positive, One Negative)
LED SW


There is no Reset cable (which is fine, because there is no Reset Button on the Front Panel).

Main Problem:

There is no Power Switch cable for the Front Panel.


PC Behavior:

I plugged in the HDD LED and POWER LED cables in their normal positions, and left the LED SW cable disconnected.

When pressing the Power Button on the Front Panel, nothing happens.

I used a screwdriver to jump the Power Switch pins on the motherboard, and the system turns on normally.


When the system is powered-on, the Power Button on the Apevia Destiny actually changes the color of the Fan Lights.

Very strange, and I have never seen this before.

I just want to be able to plug everything in, and run the system normally.


My plan:

I was going to plug-in the Power LED cables into the POWER SWITCH pins on the motherboard, and then plug-in the LED SW cable (from the case) into the POWER LED pins on the motherboard.


Are there any obvious mistakes here?

Would this damage the motherboard (if so, why)?

In the posted case link there is Red User Manual link that leads to the 2 Page User Manual.

Page 2 (lower right corner) indicates (and I had to really Zoom in to see it) that the big square button on top is the Power.

Where did you get the case?

Are you able to take a couple of case photographs and post the photographs here via imgur (www.imgur.com)

The case came from Amazon -

The Power Button on the Front Panel has the standard Power Button symbol.

The other button says LED.


Currently, the LED button turns-on the system - and the Power Button changes the lights on the Case Fans after the system is powered-on.

Maybe they're mislabeled/wired incorrectly? Just switch their location on the motherboard.
