The connector for the front panel connectors is upside down on my EVGA  Z270 FTW -K MB. Still afraid to power it up until I hear from Support. Pg 44 of 132-KS-E277.pdf references the front panel header info. On my MB pin 10 is not blank. Pin 1 is supposed to have a pin - mine does not.
 
5  4  3  2  1       In the TM it's 6 7 8 9 10
10 9  8 7  6                           1 2 3 4  5 
 
Cust svc seems to think the TM and the PDF are both wrong. In any case, there is a problem here.

The blank pin on my MB is in the lower left hand corner. If you use that chart on my MB pin 10 has a pin, and Pin 1 is blank

Go by the Color Code or turn the MB 180 degrees facing away from you if you are color blind.
Maybe you should take a photo and post here on the Forum.

The point here is 'are the pin outs installed correctly'. It's obvious the PRC does not know who Deming was nor his principles in quality control. This particular S/N'd board should have failed a QC check. I have installed the DG-87 header pins to the pin numbers. If something goes pop due to this incident, is a missinstalled connector grounds for a RMA?
 
When connectors are mis-aligned or rotated on a production line, it is normal for connections to remain unchanged from a correctly placed connector. Is this error a human error and just a hiccup; or did a machine do this and more boards may appear with this same problem?

I don't use Front Panel header at all. I like to power on computer directly on motherboard. 
OK I have other reason, many useless cables from PC Case.
On motherboard I see and HDD activity, power, reset, everything is there.

I did wonder if the power and reset switches needed to know which leg of the switch was ground 
If the switch is isolated from case ground why bother ?

it does not, the only ones that are polarity are the led pins.

The HD Led is also.

The front panel of the DG-87 case has temperature LED's, and the fan control. All are at risk if the connector is hosed.
