    i do believe it is the only green wire.

    But do your self a favor and make sure, and wear rubber gloves when you mod it.

    That is the wire that you short to ground to test the power supply.

    so use a paper clip and find out before you start.

    visit themaltake.com and get a user manual it will tell you how to test it.
