I've sucessfully setup up my new computer with the Asus P4P800 motherboard and it's been running for a couple of days now. There are a few things that I didn't bother to setup, like the front panel connections.

I tried to read through the manual but some of the connections have different names from what the asus book shows. I'll list them here and if anyone can clarify which is what, that would be appreciated.

First of all, it seems like a very simple thing, but I'm not sure what to do here. The front panel green led connection on the motherboard shows as a 3-1 pin connection with the middle pin not being used. The green led power cable from the case is actually a 2 pin connector just like the power and reset cables. What should I do with this one?

Second, I'd like to connect my front panel audio plugs but here I have different names from what the motherboard shows. The motherboard shows the following plug names:

Line out_R, BLine_out_R
Line out_L, BLine_out_L
NC
MICPWR, +5VA
MIC2, AGND

this is what's written on the front panel wires:

R-out, R-RET
L-out, L-RET
MIC-POWER, MIC-IN
GROUND

I'm hesitant to plug in anything I'm unsure of and as you can see it may get confusing for newbies like me.

Last question for now, the front panel has some heat sensors. There's one called "system". Where in the computer should I attach this one to?
