Where does group of wires attach to mother board that are black/red, green/black, yellow/black? this wire grouping will supply power to hard drive. the pin holes are 3 then a white solid blank the 5 holes. on the pin casing it says power sw./led
First of all these wires don't supply power to HDD. These wires are for indicator LEDs on the front
panel of the cabinet. One wire `power sw' is to switch on the system from the power button on front panel. `power led' wire is of the power led on the front panel. All these wires will be connected to the cluster of pins on one corner of the mother board. If you can see it will be indicated & printed near the cluster of pins on the mbd, that which pair of pins is meant for what connector. Try to correlate the names on connector with the print on the mbd.

Do you know the brand and model number?
These wires are the ones that come from the front panel, I am guessing. (They don't provide power to the HDD, they are the ones that connect your power sitch, power led, and HDD activity led to the motherboard.) In my experience, the pins are usually located in one of the corners of the motherboard. Please reply if this is correct, and I can help you a little more.
