USB 2.0 Connections

[jrr9969]

I have recently purchased a CODEGEN case and an ASUS A7V8X motherboard. The new case has 2 front USB ports that I would lke to use but I am not sure where to connect the wires to the motherboard. The motherboard does have a cluster of pins for additional USB ports labeled as follows USB+5,LDM,LDP, & GND. The wires from the USB ports in the case are labeled as follows +5V,+D,-D,& GND. I am not sure if I can connect the case USB wiring to the motherboard and if I can what wire gets connected to what pin. If anyone can help I would appreciate it.

Like I replied in your first post, on the other components section:
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the order of a row should be +5, then -D, then +D, then ground (GND). If they have one set of connectors labeled with a one or a two (or a 5 and a 6...whatever), put those on the same row, although the ground may not matter.
Codegen's site has a picture. Go to Support, then USB pin layout.
"Typically the order of the pins is RED, WHITE, GREEN, BLACK, with the RED wire being the 5v Vcc power signal"

I appreciate your post and will give it a try tonight. I had already checked the CODEGEN website and they do mention that if you connect them incorrectly you can damage the motherboard. I was just looking for some reinforcement.

I know yours seem to be separate wires, while the pic on Codegen's site is of a one-piece connector, but do your wires' colors match up with the pic?
Shouldn't hurt anything as long as you get the +5v wires on the +5v pins. The grounds match up, from your initial post.

Yes, the colors do match up. I will post tomorrow with my results.

I made the connections last night and everything worked fine. I appreciate all of your help.

Excellent. Glad it's working.
