    You will need this adapter available at Harbin in order to use that switch. Harbin makes a number of adapters for a large number of Dell systems.

    Thank you very much. I found the same thing after I refined my google search. I ordered it and hope it will work. 
    When I ordered the button I just thought I could plug it in directly to the motherboard. After seeing the connection I posted here to make sure. Thanks again!
