hardwarefreek Posted October 3, 2003 Posted October 3, 2003 Hi, I got a new Chieftec Dragon case today 9new model) with built in USB & 1394 front panel relocators, problem is they don't work with my ASUS A7v8X mobo, is the ASUS a weird pin out or is it chieftecs problem?

justinal Posted October 3, 2003 Posted October 3, 2003 what do you mean it doesnt work works fine on my a7n8x deluxe with the same case Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardwarefreek Posted October 3, 2003 Posted October 3, 2003 (edited) With the case cable connected there is no device detected ion windows & no power led on my card reader that I used to test it, the USB mobo header works as soon as I connect the ASUS internal PCI card cable. EDIT: Does the USB draw power from the 1394 connector so you would need to have both cables connected to the mainboard to enable the USB? Also the 1394cable comes with 4 plugs a single, double & two three pin plugs, that adds up to 9 wires the 1394 mobo connector only has eight! what??? I'm totally confused with this one!

Guest FxXP Posted October 3, 2003 Posted October 3, 2003 This generally how I identify USB connections: RED-WHITE-GREEN-BLACK-BLACK RED-WHITE-GREEN-BLACK That is normally how it is when I hook up USB headers, and I know those are the colors of the wires in my Chieftec case.

hardwarefreek Posted October 3, 2003 Posted October 3, 2003 (edited) OK will try that, I'll need to remove the pins from the plug & reconfigure it. I think seperate wires would have been easier :-( Oh. and there are only 6 wires in the header plug which is why I think it's getting power from the 1394.

Guest FxXP Posted October 3, 2003 Posted October 3, 2003 Actually, umm, I just checked after reading this post and the colors are RED-WHITE-BLUE-BLACK RED-WHITE-BLUE-BLACK My case doesn't have the 1394 on the front so I couldn't say how those are hooked up.
