If an appliance uses 120VAC and it only has two pins on the ORIGINAL plug, it must be insulated to protect the user from the possibility of electrocution. If an appliance uses 120VAC and has pins on the ORIGINAL plug, the third pin (the long round one) connects directly to "earth ground", to protect against the possibility of electrocution when you or anyone else touches the metallic case.

How do you connect the front panel LEDs on an eMachines computer?
First locate the front panel connector pins. This is usually a 2x5 array of pins. The pins are often colour coded in pairs, however pin 1 or pin 2 should be clearly indicated. If you orient the board such that pin 1 is in the lower left, pin 2 will be directly above it. Thus from left to right, the lower row has pins 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9, with pins 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 directly above. Note that pin 10 will be missing as this is the key. If you look at the plug, you will find one of the pin holes is plugged up -- this aligns with the missing pin 10, so you can't get it the wrong way around. If the connections are all separated (rather than a single plug), use the following to determine what goes where: Pins 1 and 3 are the hard drive activity LED pins (coloured red). Pins 2 and 4 are the power LED pins (coloured orange). Pins 5 and 7 are the reset switch (if you have one) pins (coloured blue). Pins 6 and 8 are the power switch pins (coloured green). Pin 9 is the +5V power (coloured yellow). See related links for more information.
