As mentioned in the "Bought these (retro) hardware today"-thread, I picked up a Gateway system that was somewhat molested internally. Among others, the wires going to the front panel buttons were ripped off the switches. There are two buttons, one power switch (ATX) and one reset switch. Each switch is connected using two wires.
According to the information on the motherboard (Intel CA810E) and the manual, pins 5-7 go to the reset switch, and pins 6-8 go to the power switch.
If I look at the actual front panel connector, there are two pairs of twisted wires, one for pins 5-6 (blue and white), and one for pins 7-8 (yellow and brown).
What are the correct combinations?
And does it matter which of the two pins on each connector I use for the positive and negative wire?
