THIS IS IN GENERAL.

For this you need the motherboard manual.
If you do nor have it, download it.
The setup procedure will be at the beginning, after the specifications. The two cables from the front panel that are important are the (power on , LED reset) cable, and the USB cable.
Both these cables are built to the Intel developed, case standard, on most PCs.
The problems start when you are building a PC with an old case. The wires from the front panel will be all separate.
The motherboard manual will have the location of the pins, and the "pin out" for the motherboard.
The color lead is positive, and the white is negative.
The speaker wires are red and black, and the polarity does not matter.
Do them one at a time. Start with power on, when you have found the proper pins and hooked up the leads, then reset, then power LED, then HDD LED, and last the speaker.
Then find the USB pins and connect the USB cable to the motherboard.
The PC should boot, assuming the other components are installed.
