need help to connect PowerSW and Reset SW

[John Qin]

I need help to connect the power SW and the Reset SW. I am a newbie and try to build my first NAS.

this is an asrock B85m pro4 montherboard. attached pic is what I found in the manual. I put the numbers in red to make it clear.

both Reset SW and Power SW have 2 wires, one is red and one is blank.


for power SW, I think i need to use 3 and 4, but not sure which number should be red which number should be black.

for Reset SW, I am lost, not sure if I should use 7 and 8 or 8 and 9. also not sure which color should goes to which number.

They way I see it all the GND's are clearly marked, which leaves the ones with # being the +'s of the pairings

Power Switch = Red #3, Blk #4
Reset Switch = Red #8. Blk #9

wardog's approach is fine.

Wire polarity isn't an issue with the power and reset switch wires.
Wire polarity must be correct with both of the LED connections or the LED's won't work.
This is my approach:
