NF7-S: why not boot at power-up?

I have a recently built computer with an NF7-S M/B with an XP2500 and an
Antec case. Works beautifully, but have some strange behaviour from the
power-on switch. My Antec case has both a power-on/off switch and a Reset
switch at the front panel (as most cases do). Both of these switches are
wired correctly to the M/B. When I power-up the computer, it does NOT
automatically boot up the BIOS, UNTIL I later press the Reset switch. But
at other times it does? I don't understand this behaviour. Has anyone else
noticed the same?

I know that you wired the mb correctly, but now go back and pull off all of
the wires near the edge of the board.

Now put them all back with the names facing the center of the mb. Ignore
where you put them before, look at the manual, and trust me, it will
probably work just fine. REALLY look at the words written on the wires.

I would have sworn that I put the wires on correctly for the front panel USB
plug. But, alas, it was not quite correct.

I wish Antec would just make a plug instead of those separate wires for the
USB wires.
