connecting front usb ports to mobo

i am almost done building my first system and encountered a problem: i have lian li case with 2 front usb ports. each cable from the port has individual connectors which are labeled as follows: first one - vcc1, shield, data+1,data-1, and ground1, second one - vcc2, data+2,data-2, and ground2.
now the case came with its own additional rear header where the cables from 2 usb ports are combined into one single connector.
in the manual i found description of each of the connectors on the mobo but they don't match marks on the individual connectors listed above. ok, this is all getting a bit confusing. hang on there i'm almost done.
the mobo usb pins are in 2 rows and are marked as follows:
the first row: usb+5v,usb p6-, usb p6+,gnd, and nc.
the second row: usb+5v,usb p5-,usb p5+, and ground
how do i know which connector goes to which pin?

keep in mind that there are two sets of pins, and there is two usb ports there, one in each row

thanks guys. i hooked it up but still waiting for the video card and memory to arrive to power up the beast for the first time.
i'll let you know if it works. i guess i just got confused with the vcc pins on one end and usb readings on the other.
