I'm planning to upgrade my system, but keeping my FT02 case.
I opened it today to check it out a bit (I did not build this pc myself, but chose components), to prepare for building my new system.
I saw some connectors and I don't really understand why they are there or what they do.
Here's a photo of what I'm talking about: View: https://imgur.com/jMNEjza

When you look at the case's front, this part is on the left side, where it's narrow and the cables are routed through. Not the mainboard/GPU/CPU side.
I went through the manual (https://www.silverstonetek.com.tw/downloads/Manual/case/Multi-FT02-Manual.pdf). It could be the part labeled as SilverStoneTek CP05. But it seems that part has to do with hot-swapping? I've never used hot-swapping an HDD with this system. Why is this installed, why are the cables connected?
It's two connectors. I can't get a good look behind.
What does the black, red, black, yellow cable do? Is that for power?
And what is the thin black cable above the black/red/yellow one?
And why are these connectors/cables at the front of the case, out of the way of everything else?
I tried following the cables to find out where they lead, but they go into cable-binders that are so full of cables, I can't tell where they lead ultimately.
I'd appreciate any advice. Thank you!
