Default LED power requirement.

I don't visit redirects unless there is a description or a preview mode
to tell the user where they are really going to visit.

Besides, the real question isn't about what these LEDs are for but
rather where to connect them - and that is a motherboard inquery but you
didn't identify the motherboard (brand and model).

It has two LEDs behind the from cover that are not connected. The
plug has 2 wires, Black and Red with a mall connector similar to a
system fan plug. I am trying to identify where I can attack this to
get the LEDs to light but I have no idea what voltage it needs or if I
can simply splice it into a Molex connector. I have searched and left
messages on various forums but no reply. Apparently no one still uses
this older case.

Does anyone have any ideas where I can hook this wire to?


One would be to the PWR header on the motherboard. The other would be
to the HDD header (to show hard disk activity).

Your motherboard didn't come with a manual that defines the various
headers on it? There isn't an online copy of the manual at the
motherboard maker's web site?
