wire colors: color vs black vs white (positive vs negative voltage)
- by David Oneill
I'm working on building a computer (first time for me). There are several plugs that I need to connect to the motherboard (Power LED, reset switch, etc). Of the two wires, they are either:
Color and white (reset switch, power LED, HDD LED)
red and black (speaker, power switch)
The manual for the motherboard has a nice diagram of where to plug them in, but has them labeled + or -. Which colors are positive, and which are negative?
