A7N8X usb connectors
I've got an asus A7N8X deluxe motherboard that comes with 4 onboard usb ports. it can support up to 6 and came with a back panel with 2. i was planning on not using the 2 back panel ports and instead use the 2 ports in the front of my case. The problem is that the back panel usb port connectors are secured together in a plastic plug, but my front port connectors are separted into 4 parts and i'm not sure where each one goes. here's a picture to help illustrate:
The 4 front usb connectors are labled: Ground, VCC, Data +, Data - thanks for the help |

yup...the picture's straight from the online manual. it's also on page 31 of the real one.
i'm guessing that these go together: Data +.......usb_p5 + Data -........usb_p5 - VCC...........usb +5V ground......ground but i'm not sure.. that still leaves NC (whatever that means) |

"NC" stands for "No Connection"

The worst thing that can happen if you hook them up wrong is the PC will shutdown when you try to connect a USB device, but it does no harm.

I have a Lian-Li Case(ahh, unexperienced parents), and I had the same problem, but a bit less caution. You got it right, It should work just fine.
