Question Front USB Help ??

First just needed a little help connecting up my usb ports for the case...

there are two USB groups of pins on the mobo.......F_USB and Green usb.....both have 10 pins with the last 9th pin..missing.....

whats the difference with these?.....

my case used two leads with on the pins
USB 1..................USB 2

VVC1....................VVC2
DATA-1................DATA-2
DATA+1...............DATA+2
GND1...................GND2
SHIELD1..............SHIELD2

does both go on the F_USB and the other on the GREEN_USB or both go on the F_USB?

it also has a firewire..socket on it....but my mobo doesnt have any pins for that...

i hope this makes some sense lol.......any help would be welcomed....

Use the F_USB. Then if you want more USB connectors, use the GREEN_USB. Double check the mobo manual on the USB connections, they may call their connections something slightly different.

2..4..6..8..10

1 - power
2 - power
3 - USB DX-
4- USB DY-
5 -USB DX+
6 -USB DY+
7-GND

10 NC

both usb leads have 5 pin slot....so both can go on and one will be missing that 9th pin

Each USB port only has 4 connections.
power=VVC
DX is one port and DY is the other. and match the + and - signs: USB DX- = DATA -1
