How do I wire the PC power from MB to button?

I wired mine into a phone jack/receptical so that when I need to remove the PC from the cabinet i've got an easy disconnect between the button wire (phone plug) and he computer (phone jack).

Where does the jack plug into on the motherboard?

BobA:

It does not plug in you need to connect the black MB connectors to the Front Panel power pins and then wire to telco jacks if you want a quick disconnect.  Seems a bit complicated for you right now.

Cougar888:

Thats the thing, I don't have any of the black connectors. I thought I'd have at least an old header somewhere but nothing. I'll see if my local computer shop as anything :)

BobA:

Most computer shops have tons of those double pin black connectors lying around.   The hard place to get them from is the big name shops.  Support your local computer shop.  ;)
