Default [Case] Front panel wires

I'm finishing up a build and I'm realizing I have a bit of confusion. The connections from the front panel of my case (the power switch, LEDs, reset switch, etc) have an A on one side of wire and an arrow on other, while my motherboard handles everything in pluses and minuses. I figure, on the wire, one of these is the ground wire, but I can't tell.

How should these be plugged into the mobo? Does the ground go in the minus?

Any help would be awesome. Thanks!

Red or green for positive maybe.
Regardless you wont blow anything up if you get it wrong(if you are only connecting switches and LEDs)the buttons/lights just wont work.

ground goes to minus, but as krll said, LED's just wont work if theyre put in the wrong way, just turn them round. Buttons work no matter which way though.
