USB_P5-
USB_P6-
USB_P5+
USB_P6+
GND
GND
NC
And the connectors from my case are:
GND1 - (Black wire)
DATA +1 (Green wire)
VCC1 (Red wire)

The USB on the case only uses 4 of those pins. If you have your manual for your motherboard that will show you how to do it the best.

This is the standard colors
Standard USB Cable Wiring Color Code

5V / Red

D+ / Green

D - / White


Ground / Black

On your motherboard you have two USB ports in one block - from the info given they are designated USB5 and USB6. Pick one of them (eg USB5). Your M/B guide will tell you which of the USB+5V pins refers to which port and likewise which GND pin refers to which port. My understanding is that all the pins for one port are in line and all the pins for the other port are in the line next to it. VCC1(red) connects to USB+5V, DATA+1(green) connects to USB_P5+ and DATA-1(white) connects to USB_P5-, GND(black) is obvious. You will find the NC is a pin on its own on the end of the block and is used for lining up a twin USB cable connector onto the block. Hope that clarifies things.
