Look for some pin headers looking similar to this:

That's where you should connect the cables. Since you have a Dell motherboard it's hard to say which cable goes where.

BTW, your link doesn't work.

I know where they go! But I'm going to make you do things the hard way: Look at your old connector and follow the traces back to the switch and LED's.

well i kinda broke my cpu while moving the mobo and iput the cpu back into its socket and some pins got bent, tried straightening them then 1 little f************************* pin fell off . so i sm getting new SLI mobo with a amd 4000 san diego cpu. oh and i already traced back the wires with the old connector and i had no luck 🙁 .

Tracing the wires back is how I figured it out. By the way, they might have changed the wire order between models so even if I told you it might not help.

You're a mean dude Crash! 😀

That's the way I do things also when I don't have the damn manual! That's 95% of the time.
