I'm not sure what you mean by series of card but the power switch and LED's are usually connected to a series of pins directly in the motherboard. My compaq case had one large block with all the switches and led connections on it. This was obviously proprietary to Compaq so you couldn't connect the entire block of pin sockets to a motherboard other than a Compaq one. I'm not sure if HP does the same but they probably do. You might have to cut the block into pieces or cut of the wires and put new ending on it, then connect each set of pin connectors to the right place on the motherboard.

For example this is a set of pins on the motherboard

1 and A might be for the power switch, but if the HP case has an entire block the power switch might be located at 9 and J

If you read really carefully on the motherboard it should actually be written which pins are for what, ie. the power switch could be marked with PWR_SW

as far as I know there are no standards for the pin locations.
