    the power switch is 2 wires whereas the power led can be 2 or 3 pin connector so which are you actually talking about?

    on page 17, system panel connector, you want the pwrbtn# & gnd pins which are side by side. those 2 are your power button pins.

    I got the mother board working but now I'm not getting audio. Do I connect any jumpers and if so where and how many? This is for external audio.

    I don't recall audio having jumpers, just connectors that attach to the front audio ports.

    The connectors? Well there's usually a bank of pins on the motherboard alongside the USB headers and Power switch/LED plugs.
    This sort of thing:

    Usually they're labelled but if you're not sure, your motherboard manual will tell you.
