The blank pin is your guide. Should you try and put the cable on wrong it will not go into the slot. In fact a blank pin connect is made that way just to ensure a proper cable connection.

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.

The Connector is Not Hosed. Review the DG-87 Case Manual and your MB Manual.
If it where Hosed do you not think that all the users of this MB would here saying the same?
Also the "temperature LED's, and the fan control" are separate from the MB Front Panel Connector.

Sorry, the header connector in the DG-87 case for the HD_LED power is a pair of single pin connectors

the positive are usually the left hand side i believe

I have not ripped apart the case to actually see where the connectors for the DG-87 case actually go. The skimpy manual leaves a lot to be desired. Believe when I say I know technical manuals. I have had to rebuild 64 pin round armored cable connectors in the Navy. I was a Display Tech for over 11 years.
 
I also was working on a BSIT degree from SIU. The Industrial Technology COI not a computer finger wiggler course. I did not finish the degree because I did not want to either learn Mandarin or Spanish. Another reason is I was 38 when I retired from the Navy and MFR's want kids in their 20's.
 
Those with this BSIT degree KNOW quality control inside and out. EVGA needs to hire some people with this degree and send them to the manufacturer of this product. Those in the PRC do not care about quality - It's a thing about their culture.
 
Please, if you don't have the FTW K board do not comment to this OP.

Pin 1 is missing on my MB and pin 10 has a pin. The connector on the MY MB is turned. Pin 1 in this case is at the lower LH. According to the manual pin 10 is supposed to be 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.

This Motherboard is a MLB. There are no wires that I know of inside of it. You cannot use the connector if it's turned because of the way the connections are produced on a production line. If the connector is turned and you try to use it, then you stand a very good chance of introducing grounds or shorts. These will cause strange problems.

Please avoid linking product serial numbers to the forums. I looked into it and it seems that Hamrick is the maker of VuePrint and the serial number is in the install instructions for the software on the website but when someone sees a serial number they often assume the software is pirated which is not ok on the forums. By just posting the link people can fallow the instructions on the site.

more than likely the manual is wrong, they probably used a stock photo with the assumption that most people will just follow the color codes, since all the text on the MB line up with the correct color code i would be willing to bet they are correct and the manual is wrong, it happens. on a side note i cant remember the last time i even looked in a manual for front panel layout, i just go by the colors.
