I'm building a PC with a Jginyue B650 Gaming Plus motherboard, but I don't have the manual. I'm unsure which pins are for the power switch, reset switch, power LED, and drive activity LED. Are the front-panel pins color-coded, or is there a standard layout I can use to identify them safely?

Most modern motherboards use a standard 9-pin front-panel header, with one position left empty as a key. The power switch, reset switch, power LED, and drive LED usually connect to the labeled pins in that block. Check the tiny labels printed next to the header or look for the board’s pinout diagram online. The LED connectors are polarity-sensitive, while the switches can be connected either way. Some boards add extra pins beside the standard block, so don’t assume every nearby pin is part of the front-panel header.
