OK - so unique situation. I am retrofitting existing rack mount chassis with new MB (Asus H97M-E/CSM). The power LED from the chassis has 3 pins (2 populated with 1 on outside empty).

The slot on MB is only 2 pin. Problem is i would just drop in the 2 pins and call it a day but there is no room? The 2 pins butt up against the USB connectors so no physical room. Does this make sense? Wish I could show a picture?

I'm wondering is there a way to get a 3 pin to 2 pin adapter?
 
I simply do this:

You have no spare whatsover? look at the other cables, any of those you are not using?

That header is typically a 10-pin header with 2 pins as keys. The PowerButton pins are typically next to the PowerLED pins, so is there room next to the PowerButton pins? Can you exchange the 2-pin PowerButton plug with your 3-pin PowerLED plug? THINK.
