Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to figure out how to hook up front usb to a new motherboard (lose wires), and since I don't want to fry my motherboard, was hoping someone might offer a second opinion. The motherboard is an ECS nForce3-A v1.0
This is the wiring info provided in the motherboard documentation:
Pin 1 USBPWR (Front Panel USB Power)
Pin 2 USBPWR (Front Panel USB Power)
Pin 3 USB_FP_P0- (Usb Port 0 Negative Signgnal)
Pin 4 USB_FP_p1- (Usb Port 1 Negative Signal)
Pin 5 USB_FP_P0+ (Usb Port 0 Positive Signal)
Pin 6 USB_FP_P1+ (USB Port 1 Positive Signal)
7 GND (Ground)
8 GND (Ground)
9 Key (No Pin)
10 NC (not Connected)
Here are the cables I have (all lose) and colors:
Power (Purple)
Power (Black)
D2- (Brown)
D3- (Blue)
D2+ (Red)
D3+ (Green)
GND (Light Brown)
GND (Yellow)
I was thinking of doing this:
Pin 1: Purple
Pin 2: Black
Pin 3: Brown
Pin 4: Blue
Pin 5: Red
Pin 6: Green
Pin 7: Light Brown
Pin 8: Yellow
Does that look right? Does the order of the power and ground ones matter ?(meaning could I need to put black on pin 1 and purple on pin 2 instead?) Also, What are the last two pins, are they needed for anything? Also, does it matter how you put in the pin.. meaning does the side of the pin with the writing on it need to be on top or does it not matter?
I understand it's my risk if I try to do anything and I blow up the computer.. thanks for your help.
David
