I'm almost finished installing a motherboard, but I'm having trouble figuring out the proper way to install the small connectors for things such as the power button, hdd light, reset button, etc. I can read the blueprints in the manual to find "where" to plug them into, but I can't figure out if I'm plugging them in the correct way, or if they are backwards. I can see that the little plastic pieces usually have a little triangle indicator on one side, but I don't know what it means.
In the manual it referrs to the pins in terms like "high reference pull-up" or "low reference pull-down".
Or in the example of the Hdd light, It lists one of the pins as "hard disk LED pull-up" with the signal going to it as HD_LED_P, and the other pin is listed as "Hard disk active LED" with a HD_LED_N signal going to it. The little plastic connector has a triangle on one side, but how do I know which direction to plug it in?
I'd like to know what the triangle indicates, and the other terms too.

If you plug in the LEDs backwards, they won't light. It won't hurt anything and you can just flip them around. The power button and reset button can go either way.
The triangle probably designates which pin is the positive. I don't know about the pull up/pull down stuff though.

of direction you're a foul individual. in case you do no longer pull a chair out from somebody as they're approximately to take a seat... how is your chum who often does the pulling ever get to take exhilaration in being a spectator. the rest you would be able to desire to NO?

It usually doesn't matter which direction they are plugged into just as long as you have the plugs on the right pins

P is positive
N is negative.
Triangle marks the positive.
