pwr switch, reset switch, & HDD switch with ground need to be plugged to MB but both wires are black. I thought black was reserved for ground. How can I tell which wire goes where?

--edit
On the rear side there is an arrow on one of the pins/holes.

if you look at the plastic piece on the end there is usually a small triangle marking on one of the pins

triangle is supposed to be positive on the hdd activity led

the power switch and the reset switch don't matter because they just need to short

I believe the one with the arrow is positive.

There are some 'wierd' things I don't understand on this build but I need to take them slow. One at a time. This one is more complicated than the first one. The case has some connections I don't understand and cm's website is a joke, along with their 'manual'.
