The front panel connectors on this old motherboard lack labels, making it unclear where to connect the power button.

I don’t have the guide and I’m not sure about the motherboard type.

It's definitely mentioned in the manual. It's likely located near the pins, especially since I've seen many motherboards over the years—most of them. (Manual 100% confirmed) Yeah, this could become an issue. First, you'd need to spot the motherboard, and then finding a manual is just a quick search.

They generally maintain a standard layout... align horizontally, with two pins for powering the LED, two for the HDD LED, two for the power switch, and two for resetting. The typical arrangement resembles this pattern, using extra pins for speakers, chassis open detection, or other features. Identifying the power button is simplest by touching two pins together with a metallic tool—if the system activates, that pin is your power switch. The model and manufacturer are usually listed between the CPU socket and RAM, or near the PCIe slots. Sometimes a model number and revision are visible in a corner of the circuit board. There might also be a barcode sticker on the motherboard or labels on network card ports that display the board model.

You can find the motherboard model listed in the product documentation or on the manufacturer's website. The socket type (FCLGA1150) is also useful for identification. Check the packaging or any accompanying manuals.

I'll gather more details if possible. I'm ready to search for the model. Having additional images would help with comparisons. In my experience, the power pins are typically located on the exterior of the pin grid, though this isn't always the case.
