The eMachines T5274 uses an ECS 945GCT-M3 motherboard.
This is ECS Support, and the download page for the motherboard manual,

This is a PDF file download. Takes a few seconds to see the first page come up, and additional time for the file to fully download.
After the file has fully downloaded, go to Page 11.
(The PDF file page number box at the top, next to the blue Down Arrow, will show 11)
In the motherboard photo shown, the number 12 points to Panel1.
This is the Front Panel header.
(The Front Panel is the plastic front of your computer. This particular connector is referred to as a Header)
Barring you cannot download the motherboard manual, I will explain in detail as I go along.
Orient the motherboard in your mind, so that we are both looking at it in the same direction.
Processor to the top, Ram Memory slots to the right, Panel1, (Front Panel header), is at the bottom Right corner, and is along the edge of the motherboard.

A) Pins 1 and 3 are for the HarDDrive activity LED light.
Hard Disk LED (+) The Positive wire of the HDD LED light goes to Pin 1.

More than likely if the wires are marked, only the Positive ( + ) wire will be marked. Usually with a little tag that has + symbol on it.
