USB connectors are 4 cables, red,white,green,black.
These translate to red = vcc, white = usb -, green = usb +, black = ground.
the usb headers on the mobo are two rows of pins one row is five, the other beside it is four. Te configuration goes from one side to the other starting at 1 which is the first pin on the one with four in the row. It goes 1 left 2 right,3 left four right and so on to 10. 9 is empty as it serves to stop you plugging a preformed plug in incorrectly.
so the running order from one end to the other on the row with five is as follows: 2,4,6,8,10 and the row with 4 is 1,3,5,7,9.
The correct order to connect is 1 = red,3=white,5=green,7
black=ground 9 = no pin and on the other side of 5 pins the running order is 2=red,4=white,6=green,8=black,10 =no connection. Any doubts? email me at compdoctor2005@btinternet.com
