Ok, I assume he knows that they go here:

I think I have a similar motherboard lying around at home, or there may be something here at work, if so I will update the picture with the correct positions.
Unfortunately for you it looks like it might just be a case of trial and error if the motherboard gives no indication of what goes where.
Don’t be afraid that you will kill anything (apart from yourself if you start touching anything else)
I always start with the power and reset buttons, usually I just plug it into one of the many combinations of pins (it could be horizontal or vertical) and try pressing the button with every combo, or if im in a rush, I just grab a screwdriver and touch two pins together at a time until I get it right.... But allot of people don’t think that's safe...

Anyways, I will see if I can find out where those cables go, but it may turn out that you just have to live with a power and reset button, unless you can find out more about your motherboard...

EDIT:My spelling is craptastic
