ASUS P4PE and Chieftec Dragon with USB/Firewire

[grusommegunnar]

I've recently bougt an ASUS P4PE mainboard and a Chieftec Dragon Midi tower with USB/firewire ports in the front. My problem is that I don't know how to connect the mainboard to these ports. The labels in the mainboard manual are different from the ones on the cables from the ports:

USB

Chieftec      ASUS:
1.Ground (2)     1.+5V
2.+D (2)      2.lp4-
3.-D (2)      3.lp4+
4.+5V (2)      4.ground
5.Ground (1)     5.+5v
6.Ground (1)     6.lp5-
7.+D (1)      7.lp5+
8.-D (1)      8.Ground
9.+5V (1)      9. NC (not connected?)



Firewire:

I suggest you try the following connections:

Chieftec: ASUS:
1.Ground (2)---8.Ground
2.+D (2)-------7.lp5+
3.-D (2)-------6.lp5-
4.+5V (2)------5.+5v
6.Ground (1)---4.ground
7.+D (1)-------3.lp4+
8.-D (1)-------2.lp4-
9.+5V (1)------1.+5V
5.Ground (1) 9. NC (both not connected)


Chieftec: ASUS:
1. VP ------ 7.+12V
2. VG ------ 3.GND
3. TPB- ---- 6.TPB0-
4. TPB+ ---- 5.TPB0+
5. TPA- ---- 2.TPA0-
6. TPA+ ---- 1.TPA0+
------------ 4.GND (not connected)
------------ 8.+12V (not connected)
------------ 9.GND (not connected)
