A Question About Cables

I’ve decided to update my case (my old one had no fan slots or fans in it) and I’ve got the motherboard, graphics card and power supply in it. However, I can’t work out where 4 connectors plug in. They’re the RST, HDD LED, LED and PWR connectors. (They’re all plugged into the case).
It would be very appreciated if someone gave me a picture, on some instructions to help me.
Thanks,
Stark
edit: you mean like really small cables? With little blocks at the end? Those are for the lights on your case and go on your mobo, your mobo’s manual will show how to put them.

They only fit where they are supposed to fit.
What? No. The headers are grouped and you have to put them the right way round (for positive or negative). He’s talking about the LEDs and the switch headers, they don’t ‘fit where they are meant to fit’, please talk some sense.
OP, check your motherboard manual.
Unfortunately I don’t have my motherboard’s manual.
Yes they are like tiny little blocks, I was wondering if you were supposed to group them together so they sort of made a 9-pin connector? I searched my motherboard and found no connectors that would fit, but there are a few places for a 9 pin connector.
It’s the motherboard from the iMedia 2326
AMD Phenom 8450 Processor
320GB SATA Hard Disk
I didn’t really know what info you wanted, (I don’t really understand motherboards).
But that’s all the info on the PC box
i mean the manufacturer and type of the mobo, like gigabyte p35-ds3l or asus a7n8x etc
this case?
Packard Bell iMedia X2326

They indeed all gotogether on one of the larger connectors.
Check your motherboard manual, since you apparently got one of them factory built pcs you may not have it; find out what motherboard you have and google its manual.
Quoted from Starkie
686 AMIBIOS WE69 0562
Was that what you wanted?
That’s the BIOS, it tells us nothing about the mobo.
EDIT: Apparently it is Packard Bell’s own, it’s listed as ” Packard Bell Canberra”.

If it helps, the pins where these heads connect are *usually* in the bottom right corner of the motherboard (where bottom right is right of the expansion slots and below the memory, on a ‘normal’ layout).
Usually there are little labels printed next to the pins to indicate what they are for (abbreviations like PWR for power, RST for reset, etc. You get the idea).

This is true in some situations but I would highly doubt it would be true on an OEM motherboard.

PB and the like are known to simply rebrand ‘existing’ motherboards. Could easily be a Gigabyte with a new logo or something. But yeah, there’s not really a way to ensure this is the case. You never know with these silly things :<
Also, I've never seen a motherboard that doesn't have the rst/pwr/etc pins on the bottom right, but that's probably just me.

It was a reference to the positions and +/- being labelled — on an OEM motherboard I’d expect them to specifically remove them to discourage modification.
